Dive-site story
Set along the eastern coast of Caprera in the Archipelago of La Maddalena, this site shares its nickname with the cove above, earned for its turquoise shallows. Below the surface, sculptured pink granite monoliths plunge onto sand channels and extensive posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows. Divers navigate through swim-throughs, overhangs, and boulder fields sheltered within the national park's protected waters.
