Maddalena Archipelago

The Maddalena Archipelago is a group of islands between Corsica and north-eastern Sardinia. It consists of seven main islands and numerous other small islets surrounded by the gorgeous crystal clear sea. It has some of the most spectacular beaches you’ll find anywhere in Italy. The islands of the archipelago are made of granite and schist rock which form land and marine environment. The several beaches and coves are famous for the clearness of their waters and are appreciated by tourists. The most fascinating beach is the Spiaggia Rosa in the isle of Budelli. Spiaggia Rosa takes its name from the characteristic pink color of the sand, due to breakage of the shells of tiny marine animals. The Maddalena Archipelago is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Sardinia.
