Nature

Tucked between two granite headlands, Cala di Trana is a quiet stretch of fine pinkish sand and shimmering water. With no beach facilities in sight, it’s a peaceful haven for nature lovers and snorkeling fans. Its clear water, pristine seabed, and unspoiled beauty have earned it the prestigious 3 Vele award from Legambiente’s Goletta Verde. Reachable by boat or via a dirt road branching off the route to Costa Serena, it’s well worth the journey.
