The beach:
The closest beach is the charming beach of Marina di Praia at 1.5 km, situated in a point where a small valley dug by the erosion meets, among the high rocks, a sea of the colour of the emerald.
You can walk there along a tract of the coastal road, and then taking a 'scalinatella' that will take you to the Saracen watch tower by the sea. From there you will be able to take a charming downhill pedestrian alley, cut into the rock, sheer above the sea, which will take you to the beach.
Along the walk you will find a couple of small and characteristic cafes and restaurants, open in the good season, where you will be able to have breakfast or dine on the rocks above the sea.
This same beach can also be reached by car or by bus. On this beach you will be able to practice several activities, rent boats and board small boats that will take you to swim in fascinating inlets of the coast, that can only be reached by boat.
