Capocchia du Purpu, Beach in La Maddalena, Italy
The beach lies on Isola Giardinelli, featuring Mediterranean vegetation and granite rocks that form small coves along the shoreline.
The beach belongs to La Maddalena National Park, established in 1994 to protect the natural heritage of the entire archipelago.
Local fishermen named this beach 'Capocchia du Purpu' due to its shape resembling an octopus head in the Gallura dialect.
Visitors need to bring water and supplies as the beach offers no facilities, and access requires a 20-minute walk from the nearest parking area.
The beach contains small pools formed by granite rocks where marine life concentrates during low tide, creating natural aquariums.
