Cala Nido d'Aquila Small Harbour

Tucked into the Arcipelago di La Maddalena National Park, this small harbour sits among Sardinia's signature granite coastline with famously clear water right on your doorstep. Be aware of the muddy bottom and poor holding if you're anchoring nearby — come prepared. The surrounding coves and rocky shoreline make it easy to spend hours just swimming and exploring on foot without going far.
