Cala Francese
3.8 (6 reviews)
Cala Francese is a beautifully sheltered little bay on La Maddalena island, tucked away from the wind and known for its hammock-shaped granite rock that arches right down to the water — it's genuinely unlike anything else on the island. The mild microclimate makes it a great spot to linger, and the coastal path here connects you to the nearby cove of Cala Spinosa while offering dramatic views across to the cliffs of Bonifacio in Corsica.
