Cala Vinagra

Cala Vinagra is a raw, unspoiled bay on the island of San Pietro, reached via a ~2-hour hike (about 4 miles with 680 ft of elevation) that keeps the crowds thin. The descent involves a rugged rocky platform that drops toward the sea — the kind of place that feels genuinely earned once you get there. Once down, the clear water is great for swimming and snorkeling, with no facilities to speak of, so bring everything you need.
