Cala Marcutza

Cala Marcutza is a small, sheltered bay tucked along the coastline near Porto Torres in northern Sardinia, offering crystal-clear turquoise water and a rugged, natural setting that still feels off the beaten path. The rocky shoreline is framed by Mediterranean scrub, giving it that raw, unspoiled feel you don't always find this close to a major port. It's a great spot for a swim and snorkel, with the clear shallows making it easy to explore the sea floor. Porto Torres itself is just a short distance away if you need supplies or want to check out the ancient Roman ruins at the Ponte Romano.
