Guide
Good to know
Excellent for snorkeling year-round
Crystal-clear shallow water, sandy seabed, and Posidonia seagrass meadows teeming with colorful fish are visible just meters from shore.
Sheltered during easterly winds
When wind blows from the east, this cove remains calm while other nearby beaches become choppy or jellyfish-prone.
Wear water shoes without fail
The entire cove is rocky underfoot, and cheap flip-flops will not protect your feet from sharp stones.
Arrive early in summer months
By late morning on hot weekends the parking area fills and the tiny cove becomes impossible to navigate.
Drive carefully on final approach
The last stretch of the dirt track is rocky and uneven, requiring slow speeds to avoid damage to undercarriage.
