One of the most beautiful islands in Sardinia will be the destination of your next vacation. We are obviously talking about Caprera. And you want to know what to see: here you are satisfied.

The most beautiful places

These are the seven most beautiful places you can see on the island of Caprera

Cala Coticcio

Let’s start with one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Caprera. Not surprisingly, it is known with a nickname that says a lot: Tahiti. You will find yourself on a coast made of immaculate sand and lapped by a turquoise sea as you will hardly see anywhere else, we can guarantee it.

Garibaldi’s house

The hero of the two worlds spent his last days of life on the island of Caprera. His house, also known as the White House, is located within the Garibaldi Compendium: it is a site that collects and protects all the important places where Giuseppe Garibaldi lived.

Relitto Beach

There are the remains of an ancient ship wreck that barely emerges from the shoreline sand. Sand that is obviously white and fine. As for the sea, it is so transparent and peaceful that you can see the seabed for several meters.

Museum of the sea and seafaring traditions

The perfect balance between nature and culture: in this museum, there are documents, objects and photographs that tell of life on the island of Caprera, inextricably linked to the sea and its rhythms.

Due Mari beach

Not one but two beaches: close, placed one behind the other, separated by a thin isthmus of land. It is located on the southern coast of the island of Caprera.

Geo-mineralogical naturalistic museum of Stagnali

It consists of two large rooms in which an authentic treasure made of minerals, fossils, sands, shells, marine flora and fauna is kept.

Cala Andreani

His calling card is a transparent and crystalline sea, white and fine sand, low and clear seabed: wild and unspoiled, a simply perfect beach.

Sleeping on Caprera

The accommodation facilities, in practice, are located on the nearby island of La Maddalena, so it is here that we recommend you to stay. But don’t worry, to get from La Maddalena to Caprera, as we will see immediately, it will take you very little time.

How to get to Caprera

And now that you know what to see: how do you get to the island of Caprera? Nothing could be simpler.

• Reach the inhabited center of Palau, which is located right in front of the Maddalena archipelago;
• From Palau, take one of the ferries or boats that take you to La Maddalena (there are several trips every day and you will have all the information you need at the port ticket office);
• From La Maddalena, drive along the dam-bridge called Passo della moneta, six hundred meters and you will be in Caprera.

Ferries to Sardinia

Palau can be easily reached starting from Olbia, one of the main ports for ferries to Sardinia: just take the Sardinian eastern state road 125 northwards and follow the signs for Palau.

By car, it takes about 45 minutes. Cars that we advise you to embark on the ferry because, as we have seen, it will be useful to get to Caprera.

What to see on La Maddalena

In practice, we have already told you how to get to La Maddalena. And this is also the place where you will stay. Why, then, don’t you take advantage of it to visit this other, beautiful island?
