Cala Coticcio is a beach in La Maddalena, Sardinia (Italy). It is sheltered from the scirocco and ponente winds.
You can arrive by land from La Maddalena and continue to Caprera, leaving the car in a parking area near the trail; alternatively, many boat excursions depart from La Maddalena, Palau, or other ports in Gallura.
Generally, no ticket is required for access to the beach, but during summer, access may be restricted and there may be limitations imposed by the National Park. It is advisable to check in advance, and if you prefer a guided visit, to book an excursion.
The cove can be frequented by children, but the path to the beach is rocky and in some parts exposed, making it more suitable for school-aged children and families accustomed to short hikes. It is not suitable for strollers.
Parking is available along the provincial road near the trail, but spots are limited especially in the summer months. If parking is not available, many people opt for arrival by boat.
Yes, it is part of the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park and its associated protective measures; for this reason, there are rules regarding anchoring, camping, and behavior on the beach to be respected.
