Isola di Spargi

Stop at the beach in Cala Corsara. The tour is scheduled to depart at 10 : 00 from the commercial port of Palau, pier No. 5. After a few minutes of sailing, you arrive in the island of Spargi for the first stop at the enchanting beach of Cala Corsara. Spend two hours here in one of the most beautiful bays of the archipelago; you can relax on its white sands, swim in the turquoise waters or explore the nearby paths to reach breathtaking viewpoints. Cala Corsara is also famous for the peculiarity of its rocks shaped by the elements, including the "Witch's Head", the "Bulldog Dog" and the "Italian Boot".

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on A day excursion to La Maddalena?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
