Piana Island

Isola Piana lies in the Strait of Bonifacio, just off the northern coast of Sardinia, and is one of the most distinctive islands in this stretch of sea. Its profile is low and even, almost entirely surrounded by extremely shallow waters that create a unique visual effect, especially on calm days.

Pale sand extends beneath the surface, forming submerged tongues that gradually emerge as the depth decreases. The sea displays shades ranging from milky green to bright turquoise, constantly shifting depending on sunlight and wind direction. In some areas, the water is so shallow that it resembles a vast natural pool.

The absence of significant elevations and the low vegetation give the island an essential and airy appearance. The panorama opens 360 degrees between Sardinia and Corsica, with views stretching toward the islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago and the white cliffs of southern Corsica.

Reaching Isola Piana by dinghy means experiencing one of the most delicate and scenic settings in the Strait of Bonifacio. It is an ideal stop for those seeking extremely shallow waters, pale colors, and a feeling of lightness suspended between two lands, in a natural environment that constantly evolves with the daylight.
