What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Spiaggia Marina delle Barche is praised for its beautiful, clear waters and sandy shores, set against a backdrop of striking cliffs. However, visitors should be prepared for significant crowds and the high cost of beach club amenities, with the public beach area being quite limited.
"The beach is mostly convenient to reach by car. I imagine spending an afternoon there after work with a towel on the public beach. The sea will most likely be calm since the beach is immediately after the port and therefore in a smaller cove. The water is also quite clean, but I would move away a bit for a swim since there is the possibility of walking to the shoreline."

"Very crowded beach. Beach facilities are prohibitively expensive (up to €45 per day for the front rows). The sea is reasonably clean, but nothing exceptional."
Michele Frate
"When the sea is clear, the water is beautiful. It's not very easy to get into the water because, although the beach is sandy, there are rocks at the foreshore. The free area is very small; you have to move toward the cove's cave."
