About this site

Cala Coticcio is a sheltered cove on the island of Caprera, within the La Maddalena Archipelago off Sardinia, known for its striking turquoise waters. The site sits in one of the most unspoilt stretches of coastline between Caprera and La Maddalena, and is reached by boat.

The waters at Cala Coticcio are crystal-clear with exceptional visibility, and the site is accessible to complete beginners with no prior experience required. Water temperatures reach 27°C during the season, which runs from May to October.

Marine life at the site includes groupers, sars (white seabream), and starfish encountered along the route through the cove.
