Spiaggia di Cala Garibaldi, Beach in Caprera, Sardinia, Italy
Spiaggia di Cala Garibaldi is a beach on Caprera Island in Sardinia, defined by pale sand that slopes gently into transparent water. Granite boulders and Mediterranean shrubs frame the cove, creating a natural enclosed setting within the national park.
The sources document only the beach's location on Caprera in the province of Olbia-Tempio, Sardinia, about 270 km east of Rome, with a mild climate averaging 17 °C and about 889 mm of rain a year. No source records a Garibaldi anchorage or the origin of the name, so the cove's history is not documented here.
The cove lies within the La Maddalena National Park, established in 1994 across the archipelago's islands and waters. Its name recalls Giuseppe Garibaldi, who lived on Caprera and whose memory is tied to the island's granite landscape. Visitors reach it on foot from the Marina del Ponte area of Caprera.
Reach the beach by ferry from Palau to La Maddalena, then cross the Passo della Moneta bridge and follow signs toward Marina del Ponte. Arriving early or visiting outside peak summer months helps you avoid crowds and find better parking.
The source records a mean annual temperature of 17 °C and about 889 mm of rain a year, with November the wettest month at 167 mm and August the driest at 15 mm. The cove lies roughly 270 km west of Rome, in the province of Olbia-Tempio, Sardinia.
