Punta Rossa Bay

Punta Rossa is a striking bay on the island of La Maddalena, named for the vivid red-pink granite that tumbles into the crystal-clear water along its shoreline. The rugged, windswept setting feels genuinely wild, with the sculpted rock formations and low Mediterranean scrub giving it a raw, elemental character you won't find in the more touristy corners of the archipelago. It sits within the La Maddalena National Park, so the water here stays remarkably clean and the surroundings largely untouched.
