Often compared to the Caribbean or Croatia, Cala dei Pagliai (named after the rock formations resembling haystacks) is a paradise with nothing to envy. It enchants visitors with its soft white sand and stunning turquoise waters. Accessible only by sea, this heart-shaped cove, divided into two sections by a large rock, offers a peaceful atmosphere—especially in the off-peak seasons.

Picture yourself lying on the deck of your boat as the sun warms your skin. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. Many visitors describe this place as magical, leaving an unforgettable mark on the heart.

Famous for its striking clay formations, Il Cretaccio is a small islet often underrated by visitors. Accessible only by boat, it offers a sense of adventure for those who explore it.

The combination of golden clay and rock makes it a perfect spot for a seaside picnic. Between breaks, explore the caves and natural inlets and admire the breathtaking scenery around you. The islet is divided into two sides: North and South. Both are stunning, offering different experiences. This location is perfect for exploration, snorkelling, cliff jumping, and even applying natural clay mud for a unique wellness experience!

Perfect for adventurers seeking secluded beauty.



4. Pietre di Fucile – Capraia Island

Renowned for its emerald green waters, high cliffs, and welcoming atmosphere, this hidden gem offers two small pebble beaches, a tiny cave, and a central rock often used for diving. It is an excellent spot for anchoring and enjoying the surrounding nature, with plenty of opportunities for swimming and snorkeling between dips. Pietre di Fucile is the perfect place to rejuvenate both body and mind.

If you love caves, the Grotte del Sale (Salt Caves) is a must-visit destination. Surrounded by cliffs, this cove offers an intimate setting for swimming and snorkeling. Inside, you’ll find two small caves where the water is shallow enough to stand or sit on various natural rock formations. Snorkel along the coast to discover a vibrant underwater world teeming with fish. Renting a boat is the best way to explore this hidden paradise, where the crystal-clear waters invite you to take a refreshing dip.
