To the west, Cala Drappo overlooks the Island of Santa Maria, in the commune of La Maddalena. The coast is extremely rugged, lapped by a sea dotted with numerous minor islands. Indeed, its very name recalls a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary which was annexed to a destroyed monastery, mentioned in a document dating to the Middle Ages, and of which possibly some traces can be seen incorporated within a private house. The beach of Cala Drappo is a half-moon of light-coloured stones and pebbles which plays with a splendid sea, whose colours range from blue to green. In the background, the beach is edged by rounded pink rocks, where the verdant vegetation of Mediterranean shrub creeps.
