La Maddalena is the largest island in the archipelago, as well as the only one to have a real inhabited centre. We will find Cala Francese, the equipped beach of Stagno Torto, and the thousand shades of blue that lap the islet of Giardinelli. The island of Caprera is such a concentration of pristine beauty, so much so that it was chosen as Giuseppe Garibaldi's final resting place. The Garibaldi Compendium preserves his remains and has been converted into a very interesting museum. The most famous and popular beach is Cala Coticcio, nicknamed by locals "Tahiti beach" due to its incredible turquoise water. In the western part we have Cala Napoletana , and in the large bay of Cala Garibaldi. Then again to Cala Portese or dei due mari, where the water laps both sides of the inlet, and to Porto Palma, home to the historic Centro Velico Caprera, the oldest Italian sailing school.
