it È la caletta tra le più gettonate della Maddalena. Non bella ma super bella, comoda da arrivarci, parcheggi la macchina a 100 metri. Mare meraviglioso, decine di calette, che puoi fare il bagno da solo o prendere il solo integralmente. La consiglio vivamente

it La foto principale è ingannevole. Si tratta di una caletta minuscola, difficile da raggiungere e bellissima. A noi è capitato di essere completamente soli, in una giornata di inizio luglio
