Spargi

Spargi is one of the most scenic islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago: a granite mass rising from the sea with varied slopes—sometimes gentle and sandy, sometimes steep and rocky. The southern and western coasts unfold in a sequence of light-sand beaches, wide bays, and more intimate coves, while on the northern side the cliffs become higher and more dramatic, shaped by wind and sea.

Vegetation covers large portions of the island with dense Mediterranean scrub: junipers, rockrose, mastic shrubs, and strawberry trees weave among the granite boulders, forming green patches that descend to within just a few meters of the water. The sea surrounding Spargi is renowned for its clarity: shallow sandy seabeds alternating with rocky areas create shades ranging from very pale, almost milky green to intense turquoise, with spots where the water appears almost fluorescent.

Exploring Spargi on a dinghy excursion allows you to fully appreciate its diversity. You can cruise slowly along the coast, choosing the most sheltered bays depending on the wind and stopping where the pale sand contrasts sharply with the deep blue of the sea. Each inlet offers a different scene: a crescent of sand overlooking shallow waters, a deeper cove enclosed by pink-hued rocks, a stretch of wild coastline. In just a few kilometers, the scenery shifts from soft, almost tropical landscapes to rugged rock faces that reveal the raw strength of Sardinian granite, in a true dinghy tour through some of the most spectacular waters of the Archipelago.
