Beach overall scores
Cala Vinagra (Sud Sardegna) is located outside the U Paize Carloforte settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the San Pietro island and the correct question is not how to get to Cala Vinagra, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The beach is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon during a hike through the mountains. As we approached, we were greeted by the breathtaking sight of a rugged bay with crystal clear turquoise waters. It was an invitation too tempting to resist, and we eagerly dove in and swam down to the stunning beach of Cala Vinagra."
Nicolette Duvall.
"This beach is truly a magnificent sight, with its crystal-clear waters resembling a shimmering glass that showcases the stunning seabed beneath. The journey to this wondrous place is a short one, starting from the parking lot and leading to the lighthouse. It's a must-visit destination in Carloforte, and the perfect spot to spend a few splendid days."
