Cala Granara

Set on n Isola di Spargi in Sardinia’s Maddalena Archipelago is Cala Granara, another stunning beach that you could easily be forgiven thinking you were on a tropical island. Backed by lush island plants and palm trees, it is quite unusual in that most Italian beaches are backed by rugged cliffs.

The shallow and clam turquoise waters lapping the silvery sands are also popular with snorkelers.
