La Maddalena, Caprera, Spargi, Santo Stefano, Santa Maria, Budelli, Razzoli are the seven main islands of the archipelago of La Maddalena.
Many are the islets which persist on the sea near the islands.
La Maddalena has to offer vast stretches of coastline still virtually intact: beaches and coves alternate with granite boulders bizarre forms.
A bridge divides La Maddalena from Caprera, that was Garibaldi refuge in the last years of his life.
Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria are gathered around an always calm sea called Porto della Madonna.
These islands, together with nearby Spargi, represent the most wild, interesting and beautiful in the archipelago with plants of rosemary, lentisk, cistus, myrtle, olive and other aromatic species.
In deeper waters swim and dolphins and the presence of these animals is due to the respect the nature of the local fishermen, heirs of great fishermen come from the mainland, especially from Ponza and Pozzuoli.
