Giardinelli Bay
Giardinelli is a tucked-away bay in the La Maddalena archipelago, wrapped in the kind of crystalline, turquoise water that makes you want to drop anchor and stay all day. The surroundings are rugged and granite-strewn, typical of this wild corner of Sardinia, with the protected marine park setting keeping the area refreshingly unspoiled. It's small and sheltered, so it can fill up fast in peak season — arrive early and you'll likely have one of Sardinia's most scenic little coves nearly to yourself.
