La Maddalena: Island Culture, Beaches and Excursions in the Archipelago
Accommodation in La Maddalena
An island with its own cultural identity
La Maddalena is the largest island in the La Maddalena Archipelago. The local history comes particularly vividly to life at the Diocesan Museum “La Maddalena”, while the beaches and the archipelago provide the setting for days focused on the sea.
Beaches and accessible coastline
The Spiaggia di Punta Tegge beach is located in the vicinity of La Maddalena. The beaches of Punta Tegge are also easily accessible for people with motor disabilities thanks to a walkway leading into the water. This specific access option is an important point of reference for visitors with different mobility needs when choosing their destinations for the day. The Spiaggia Cala d'Inferno beach and the Spiaggia dell' alberello beach are also located in the vicinity. Together with Punta Tegge, they expand the choice for everyone who wants to organise their stay around the sea and different coastal areas.
Museums spanning church, seafaring and archaeology
The Diocesan Museum “La Maddalena” is located near the harbour in the historic centre, is connected to the parish church of S. Maria Maddalena and can also be reached via Via Baron Manno. It presents local history and serves to preserve the ecclesiastical cultural heritage. The exhibits include an altar set with two candlesticks and a silver Neoclassical crucifix, donated by Admiral Nelson, as well as his handwritten letter. A visit to the museum therefore leads from the local sacred culture to a specific historical testimony.
The Museo archeologico navale “Nino Lamboglia” displays a life-size reconstruction of a cross-section of the ship from Spargi with 202 amphorae. The arrangement illustrates the stowage system. The Museo archeologico Navale, a museum, is also located in the vicinity of La Maddalena. The Museo geo-mineralogico naturalistico di La Maddalena-Caprera, a museum, and the Museo del Mare e delle tradizioni marinaresche, a museum, are also located nearby.

These different places complement the museum and beach themes with other specific points of interest.

This allows you to choose an excursion route based on the island and coastal experiences you want during your stay.
