Carlotto Bay
Carlotto is a buoy field bay on the southwest side of La Maddalena island, tucked between the island and nearby Spargi — making it one of the more sheltered spots in this otherwise exposed stretch of the Maddalena Archipelago. The combination of sandy and rocky shoreline keeps it feeling raw and natural, with the kind of quiet you don't always find this close to town. It's a solid pick when the wind picks up from the north and you need calm water without sailing too far.
