To experience one of the northernmost beaches of Sardinia, head to Spiaggia dello Strangolato. The small beach is located in the north of Isola Maddalena, on the headlands of Punta Abbatoggia, just a few kilometers north of Maddalena town. What makes Strangolato Beach unique is that you can enter the sea on both sides of the beach. Snorkeling comes to mind here, especially on the east side, where the rocks are. When the wind blows from the west, the water will be mostly flat. You will spot a few rocky patches where fish like to swim around. Don’t be surprised if you see octopuses, starfish, and perhaps a few snails. They like to hang out here! The pinkish sand is inviting. Spend a few hours on Spiaggia dello Strangolato with or without kids, and admire the scenery (Corsica, Isola Santa Maria, and Isola Spargi). You can walk around and explore the granite rocks on the headlands a bit. You’ll spot more coves as you explore the area. Note that reaching Spiaggia dello Strangolato takes a bit of effort. Come here by car, and the last part of the journey will be on a dirt road, which can be dusty in summer and bumpy after rainfall. Parking near the beach will cost a few Euros. Alternatively, park your car near Camping Village Abbatoggia, a campsite just south of the beach. Continue north on foot for a few hundred meters while passing another cove named Spiaggia di Abatoggia which is also worth exploring!
