Cala Coticcio

Cala Coticcio beach is beautiful, located on the northeastern part of Caprera, across from Scoglio Murru.
This small bay features dazzling white sand and turquoise water; it's for this reason that it's known as the little Tahiti of Sardinia.

How to get to Cala Coticcio?
From Palau, you can take a boat to La Maddalena and from there reach the island of Caprera via the Moneta bridge.
If you want to reach the beach by foot, rather than using the boats from the archipelago, you will need to take the road to Caprera, cross the bridge, and head towards Monte Tejalone, the highest peak of the archipelago at 212 meters.
From here, continue towards the dirt clearing where the 2-kilometer path to the beach begins.
