FIRST-TIMER GUIDE

Things to Do in La Maddalena

La Maddalena works best when you build each day around one anchor experience.

Start with one anchor

Choose a beach day, Archipelago boat day or Caprera as the main event. Add town, food and sunset around it rather than trying to cross every island in a single itinerary.

Do more than collect beaches

Cala Gavetta, Caprera, Garibaldian history, viewpoints, local restaurants and the evening rhythm are part of the destination. The Archipelago is more rewarding when land and sea are mixed.

Use geography

Open the Insider Map before building the day. Clustering stops by area reduces unnecessary driving and gives you more time in the water.
