Cala Portese (Due Mari)

3.5 (48 reviews)

Cala Portese — also called Due Mari ("Two Seas") — sits on the island of Caprera and earns that name by catching light from two directions, giving the water an almost impossibly clear, layered look. It's the kind of sheltered bay where you actually want to linger, with a beach club on-site running daily until 6:30 PM for sun loungers, food, and occasional DJ sets. Ferries connect you to La Maddalena town nearby, so you can easily pair a beach day here with exploring the archipelago.
