Cala Fico
Sand beach
A tranquil rocky cove on the island of Isola di San Pietro off Sardinia's southwest coast, near the tuna-fishing town of Carloforte. The water is exceptionally clear — ideal for snorkelling among colourful fish. Shaded areas with trees provide relief from the summer heat. A nearby restaurant serves fresh seafood dishes. Reachable by ferry from Portoscuso or Calasetta; there are no amenities on the beach itself so bring everything you need.
Water color: Deep blue
Difficulty to reach: ★★★☆☆
