Cala Coticcio

A tiny inlet of dazzling white sand and pink granite, where the sea turns into turquoise shades of rare intensity.

Discover Cala Coticcio

Cala Coticcio is one of Caprera’s best-known gems: a small inlet set between high walls of pink granite, opening onto two tiny stretches of ultra-fine, almost white sand. The sea, sheltered by this natural amphitheatre, takes on vibrant shades ranging from milky blue to intense turquoise.

The rocks surrounding the cove have been sculpted by wind and time into sharp, rugged shapes, broken up here and there by patches of low vegetation clinging to the cracks in the stone. In the calmest moments, the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks is the only noise accompanying the landscape.

Cala Coticcio is a place that strikes you with its intimacy: just a few elements – sand, rock, sea and Mediterranean scrub – in constant dialogue with one another, in an almost perfect balance. And it is from the dinghy that the true magic of Sardinia’s “Tahiti” is revealed: entering this natural setting from the sea lets you float right in the heart of the archipelago’s most intense turquoise waters, avoiding the long walk on foot and feeling like an integral part of this open-air aquarium.

What to expect in this paradise

Pink rocks embracing a small inlet of white sand and a sea whose colour seems almost fluorescent: Cala Coticcio is Caprera’s “postcard-perfect” bay, intimate and astonishing.
