What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Spiaggia di Capo Piccolo is praised for its unique natural environment where a river meets the sea, offering picturesque dunes and Mediterranean scrub. Visitors appreciate the clear water in rocky areas suitable for snorkeling and the availability of both equipped lidos and free beach sections. However, some reviews mention concerns about water quality due to river runoff and the prevalence of rented beach umbrellas.
"A charming place, if it weren't spoiled by the abundance of beach umbrellas and lounge chairs. A shame! A very unique natural environment where the river meets the sea... a shame 😞"
Simona Valenti
"The setting is beautiful—sand, dunes, and Mediterranean scrub—but unfortunately the sea is always rough (for a week), and the water is consequently always murky and completely out of step with the local environment. The river that flows into the sea likely also contributes to the water being dirty and full of plant debris."
Marco Andreoli
"Very pretty.. in the month of June, quiet and not very confusing! Equipped beach for the local village and a free part.
The sea is characterized by a fine beach and rocks, a crystal clear sea suitable for snorkelling"
