The Maddalenas' Secret Beach You Can't Photograph

After a short hop along the Maddalenas, we tuck into a secluded anchorage and slow right down — a few days away from the hectic world, with nothing but calm water, warm sand, and no schedule.

We swim, we paddle, and we kayak across to a beach where clothes are optional and cameras are off — so this one's a story you'll have to imagine more than watch.To beat the heat of the Mediterranean sun, we try out our hats from Aussie Chiller — giving them a good dip in the water and letting them do their thing to keep us cool through the hottest part of the day.

After a few days of quiet, we lift anchor and head back to one of our favourite bays. The Maddalenas really are something else when it comes to finding a snug spot out of the weather.👇 Join us for the adventure

Isola Piana Sunrise: The Best Way to Start a Sailing Day – S04E18

We wake up to a calm, idyllic morning at Isola Piana on the northwest tip of Sardinia.
