La Maddalena Archipelago day trip
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
More than 60 islands and islets in all, seven of them main (La Maddalena, Caprera, Budelli, Santo Stefano, Santa Maria, Spargi, Razzoli), protected as a national park. Water that looks unreal in photos and unreal in person. The ferry from Palau to La Maddalena takes 20 minutes; from there, charter a small boat for the inner-archipelago route (Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli) or join a full-day cruise from Cervo or Santa Teresa. Budelli's pink beach is fully off-limits: walking on the sand and swimming inside the marked buoys are both banned, and the fine is €900. View it from the boat, outside the line. The water between Spargi and Razzoli is the stretch to see.
