Cala Portese

Cala Portese is an anchorage located south of Caprera Island, in the beautiful setting of northern Sardinia, in the La Maddalena archipelago, in the province of Olbia Tempio. The specific stretch of coastline is also called the beach of the Two Seas.

This name comes from the composition of the cove, formed by two well-divided stretches of beach on the right and left sides. The two sides of the cove’s coastal surface are distinct, framing a small beach and a larger one-you can choose according to taste. Cala Portese washes the larger beach, and is characterized by fine white sand, which gives the setting a wonderful panorama.

This sandy seabed also affects the beauty of the sea, which obviously turns into a crystal-clear spot. In addition, the particularly shallow seabed gives the water surface a set of iridescent colors ranging from emerald to azure. The entire inlet is calm and breezy, caressed by the mistral.

A boat that decides to sail this stretch of the coast of northern Sardinia can find several berths available for mooring (the mooring capacity is up to 150 berths). Cala Portese does not have services in aid of boaters, but rather is a space that frames the beautiful beach in order to accommodate tourists who love itinerant vacations.

The beach provides umbrella, sunbed and deckchair rental service. It also has a parking area, and there is a bus stop to the hinterland of the beach and pine forest.

We are talking about an area that is often used as a destination for guided tours or photo shoots by the region’s most important tourist boards. Despite this feature, however, the anchorage is also a destination for boaters who choose to stay for entire weeks at the beach, alternating between boat and land life.

Cala Portese is a pearl of Sardinia, capable of giving medium and large boats and sailboats, excellent stops in a calm sea serving wonderful beaches. Entry to the cove is usually easy, due to the size of the area available and the openness of the shoreline, but it is still advisable to pay special attention, especially due to crowding during peak tourist season.
