Porto Madonna
Porto Madonna is a shallow natural lagoon tucked between several small islands just north of La Maddalena, where the water is so calm and clear it feels more like a swimming pool than open sea. The surrounding islets create an almost enclosed, sheltered setting that makes this a favorite spot to anchor, swim, and drift for hours. It sits within the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, so the seabed and marine life are well protected and visibly pristine.
