Cala Caprese

Cala Caprese lies on the western side of Caprera, in a sheltered position facing the island of La Maddalena. It is a small cove characterized by a mix of pale sand and smooth granite outcrops shaped by wind and sea.

The water is generally calm thanks to the shape of the coastline and displays shades ranging from emerald green to turquoise, with clarity that makes the seabed clearly visible. The bottom is mixed: mainly sandy in the central area and rockier toward the sides, offering pleasant spots for easy and relaxing snorkeling.

Behind the beach, Mediterranean scrub grows dense, with junipers and mastic trees framing the cove and enhancing its intimate atmosphere. The coastline here is gentle and harmonious, less rugged than the more exposed cliffs of Caprera, while the view opens toward the channel separating the two islands.

Reaching Cala Caprese by dinghy allows it to be easily included in an itinerary linking the western side of Caprera with La Maddalena. It is an ideal stop for those seeking a quieter and less iconic setting, yet equally authentic
