Spiaggia di Cala Corsara, Sandy beach on Spargi Island, Sardinia, Italy.
Spiaggia di Cala Corsara is a beach on Spargi Island in the La Maddalena Archipelago, known for its white sand and granite rock formations bordering the Mediterranean. The cove sits along the southwestern shore and features natural stone formations throughout.
Spargi, the island Cala Corsara faces, was declared part of the La Maddalena Archipelago national park in 1994, and the whole archipelago became a Particularly Protected Area of Environmental Interest. The granite coast and its coves, including Cala Corsara, were thus placed under park rules that limit building and access by land.
Cala Corsara takes its name from the coral (corallo) once gathered in these waters. The cove lies on Spargi, an island of the La Maddalena Archipelago, and its granite outcrops are among the features visitors notice while swimming or walking the shore. The surrounding waters belong to the protected marine area of the archipelago.
The beach is accessible only by boat from the ports of La Maddalena, requiring visitors to arrange water transportation beforehand. Plan for boat rides or guided tours as the main way to reach this location.
The beach divides into four smaller coves separated by natural granite formations, each offering its own swimming and sunbathing spots. This layout lets visitors find quieter areas without traveling far from the main beach.
