The beach stretches on the coast of the Isola Tavolara and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Cala Macchia Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Beach with fairly fine sand, very beautiful to look at. Near the latter there is a small rocky island (Isoladda) accessible by swimming.
The sea is crystal clear, rich in fauna on the seabed, such as sea urchins, sea saddles, octopuses, etc.
I recommend mask and snorkel lovers to go and see it at least once."
Marco Armellino
"It's a very small beach for upto 6-8 couples or families, not more, But very picturesque. Overlooking at Tavolara and Molars islands. Well protected from the waves and wind. With lots of fish in the water and cormorants chasing them."
