It is exactly the atmosphere you would expect from the most strictly protected uninhabited island in the Mediterranean.
A small, secluded beach, nestled within a landscape scented by pristine Mediterranean scrub and overlooking a clear, vibrant sea—one of those that can only exist within an Area of Marine Protection of such outstanding value.
The first little beach of Cala Reale is precisely this: a place where you can breathe deeply and take in the exclusive beauty that only Asinara knows how to offer.
It is reached by following a lush green path that begins at the picturesque little church and leads to a small pier. Beside it, almost as if by magic, a narrow strip of sand appears—the forbidden dream of those who love hidden, secluded places.
What makes this corner of paradise even more special are the elegant historic buildings of Cala Reale nearby, among which the small church and the Royal Palace stand out. The palace’s entrance staircase is perfectly aligned with the pier in front, the landing point for boats arriving from Porto Torres. Needless to say, the view from this spot, opening out over the enchanting north-western coast of Sardinia, is something truly evocative.
If you are planning a trip to Asinara Island, make a note of this little beach: it will enrich your experience and gift you sensations that only a place so intimate and carefully protected can offer.
