Clear blue waters and sculpted rocks make it unique. Palau is set in an inlet sheltered from the north wind, next to the exclusive Costa Smeralda and facing the enchanting park of the Maddalena archipelago. Near the town, on a granite promontory shaped by time, a natural sculpture appears that seems to have been shaped by an artist: it is the Bear rock, the symbol of Palau, with its head facing the sea.
