About this site

Cala Coticcio sits on Caprera Island within the Maddalena Archipelago off the northeastern coast of Sardinia, in a marine protected area known for its granite coastline and clear coastal waters. The cove is reached mainly by boat or a footpath from the island's interior, and the surrounding waters fall within the La Maddalena National Park. The dive here reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated intermediate, with a granite and rock seabed typical of the archipelago. Divers have also reported grouper around the site.
