Golfo della Mezzaluna

✨ Hidden gem

Golfo della Mezzaluna sits on the southwestern tip of Isola di San Pietro, framed by dramatic red cliffs that drop straight into the water between Punta Grossa and Punta Buemarino. The scale of those rock faces is genuinely striking — this isn't a gentle cove but a raw, open gulf with a wild, elemental feel. It's one of the more exposed and scenically powerful spots around Carloforte, so come for the views and the geology rather than sheltered anchorage.
