Cala del Tufo

Cala del Tufo is a small, rugged bay on La Maddalena island named after the tufa rock formations that shape its dramatic shoreline. The waters here are that classic Sardinian turquoise, and the rocky seabed means you'll find exceptional clarity for snorkeling. It sits within the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, so the natural environment is well protected and genuinely unspoiled. Get here early in summer — a spot this striking doesn't stay quiet for long.
