La Fumata Bay

La Fumata is a sheltered bay tucked into the rugged granite coastline of La Maddalena, part of the stunning La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. The water here is that signature Sardinian mix of turquoise and emerald, and the rocky shoreline keeps the crowds thinner than the more famous spots nearby. It's the kind of place you anchor up, jump in, and lose track of time. You're also well-positioned to hop between the other islets of the archipelago, including Spargi and Budelli with its legendary pink-sand beach.
