Amazing beach

The island was relaxing. I went on a ship to this island and I gotta say I enjoyed it very much. Shout out to Mauro who let me and some friends on the island.

The Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach) has lost much of his color pink. In 1994 about 3000 people used to visit this place and all of them - whether they aware of not - brought sand back home aware or unaware : in a bottle, in a glass or plastic bags etc... It took 10.000 years to make this beach. Mankind has destroyed it in 20.

One of the most beautiful little island near La Maddalena island. With boat Garibaldi from Palau port. Spiaggia Rosa, Red beach is world class.

Budelli is an island in the Maddalena archipelago, near the strait of Bonifacio in northern Sardinia, Italy. It is one of the seven islands that comprise Arcipelago di La Maddalena National Park. Budelli is several hundred metres south of the islands of Razzoli and Santa Maria. It has an area of 1.6 square kilometres (0.62 sq mi) and a circumference of 12.3 kilometres (7.6 mi). The highest point is Monte Budello, at 87 metres (285 ft).In antiquity, the Romans used the island. More recently, it was the site of some of the filming for Red Desert, released in 1964. For decades, the island had a series of private owners.Budelli is especially renowned for its Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach), on the southeastern shoreline,which owes its colour to microscopic fragments of corals and shells, such as Miriapora truncata and Miniacina miniacea, and was featured in Antonioni’s 1964 film Il deserto rosso (The Red Desert).
