Cala lunga

✨ Hidden gem

Cala Lunga is a quietly tucked-away bay where the water stays genuinely calm, making it great for snorkeling or just floating around without fighting any chop. The sandy bottom and vivid water colors are the real draw here — expect blues and greens that look almost too good to be real. There's some seaweed around, but nothing that'll put you off — just a reminder it's a living, natural spot rather than a groomed resort beach.
