La Maddalena - even the melodious name tells of the beauty of this Italian group of islands located in the north-east of Sardinia. With its beautiful blue and emerald green bays and white sandy beaches, it is in no way inferior to the Caribbean. Hiking is a great way to explore the rocky landscape of the islands.
The 10 most beautiful hikes in La Maddalena
How to reach La Maddalena?
From Palau in Sardinia, there is a ferry to the main island of La Maddalena. The journey takes about 20 minutes, which will prepare you for the wonderful views that await you on the archipelago. From here you can reach the neighbouring island of Caprera via a causeway. In addition to La Maddalena and Caprera, there are 5 other large islands and numerous scattered smaller islands that belong to the archipelago. To reach the other islands, you can rent a boat or discover the archipelago on an excursion boat.

Hike to Cala Coticcio
The small bay of Cala Coticcio is also located on the island of Caprera, which is connected to the main island of La Maddalena. It takes about an hour to walk here. If you have more time, you can also start walking from the Garibaldi Museum.
Cala Coticcio is probably one of the most beautiful bays on Caprera. Surrounded by rough rocks and green bushes, it offers an incomparable view of the coast of the archipelago and the wonderfully blue Mediterranean Sea. The hiking paths to the bay are signposted throughout. Of course, don't forget your swimsuit - just like on La Maddalena on any hike.

The pink beach of La Maddalena
A very special natural experience is the pink beach on the private island of Budelli. Spiaggia Rosa is located at Cala di Roto. The pink colour of the sand is created by coral fragments, shells, granite and shells. However, the beach itself is now closed to tourists because too many people have taken the sand as a souvenir. The entire island of Budelli, like many of the islands of La Maddalena, is uninhabited and for the most part completely untouched.
