Spiaggia Rosa
The amazing Spiaggia Rosa of the island of Budelli owes its name to the colour of its sand, rich in fragments of coral, seashells, mollusc shells and tiny specks of granite. Apart from its beauty, it is also famed for the filming of the movie "Red Desert" by Michelangelo Antonioni, that, in 1964, used Budelli for some of its scenes. The beach and the whole island, positioned within the Archipelago of La Maddalena National Marine Park, constitutes a priceless naturalistic wealth, rich in endemic flora and fauna.
The surrounding area is also full of great landscapes and naturalistic interest. Leaving from Palau, towards the Archipelago of La Maddalena, the island of Santo Stefano can be admired, characterised by the fortress of San Giorgio and Napoleon, and then the island of Spargi, a small community of shepherds, on which we find Cala Corsara.
More to the north, at the entry to the Staits of Bonifacio, we reach the uninhabited island of Razzoli, and then that of Santa Maria, on which there is a small gathering of houses. The underwater scenes of the archipelago, known as the "sanctuary of the cetacean", entertain, on the endless marine grasslands of posidonia, a great deal of cetacean, among which the dolphin, habitual visitor to the area, the sperm whale, only recently arrived, and the rorqual whales (especially in the summer months).
