2. Spiaggia Rosa

   We will take photos in front of one of the most enchanting and protected beaches in the world: the famous Pink Beach, one of the most spectacular natural phenomena. The Pink Beach is part of the Maddalena Geomarine National Park, an area of inestimable naturalistic interest. It is subject to a particular protection, which is why it is not possible to trample on the beach or swim on its shore. The island, located just north of Spargi, is famous for its legendary pink beach. The coral-colored beach, the chromatic intensity of the colors of the sea and the shapes of the granites that surround the cove constitute a unique spectacle in the world. A natural monument to be observed in religious silence. The pink beach of Budelli - immortalized by the director Michelangelo Antonioni with a very long sequence in the film "Red Desert" - is located south-east of the island of Budelli in the La Maddalena Archipelago and is so defined because of its characteristic pink color coral.
