La Cunchedda Bay

La Cunchedda is a tucked-away bay near Santa Teresa Gallura, framed by the rugged granite coastline that defines this wild corner of northern Sardinia. The water here runs clear and shallow in that signature Sardinian turquoise, sheltered enough to make for a calm anchorage with the Strait of Bonifacio just around the corner. You're close to the town of Santa Teresa itself, so picking up supplies or grabbing a meal ashore is easy without sacrificing the sense of seclusion. The granite boulder scenery and wind-sculpted maquis scrub rolling right down to the waterline give it a raw, unhurried character you won't find in the more crowded inlets nearby.
