La Maddalena · GUIDE

Cala Spalmatore

A local favourite that is naturally sheltered from the Mistral.

WHY IT MAKES THE CUT

Cala Spalmatore is a well-known La Maddalena beach, popular with locals and particularly useful when the prevailing Mistral is blowing.

PRACTICAL

Its sheltered position can mean calmer, clearer water on Mistral days.

ACCESS

Easily reached from the scenic road.
