Spiaggia Rosa di Budelli
The famous Pink Beach
Discover Spiaggia Rosa di Budelli, one of the natural icons of the La Maddalena Archipelago, renowned for its unusual pink-coloured sand and protected island landscape.
Where Spiaggia Rosa is located
The Pink Beach lies on Budelli Island in the La Maddalena Archipelago, off northern Sardinia. It is one of Italy’s most distinctive protected beaches and is famous for the colour of its sand.
How to see Spiaggia Rosa
To protect this fragile environment, direct access to Spiaggia Rosa di Budelli is restricted. Visitors can admire it from designated viewpoints and from authorised boat excursions around the island, following the rules of the national park.
What makes the beach unique
Spiaggia Rosa is famous for its pink sand, whose colour comes from tiny fragments of shells, marine organisms and other natural materials mixed with the sand. It is an exceptional example of a beautiful but highly fragile coastal ecosystem.
