What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary

However, visitors should be prepared for a steep access, a stony beach, and the potential for litter. Concerns have also been raised about car break-ins at the parking area.
"It's s place easy to reach, with a small free car parking 20 minutes walking far from the coast. A little bit more wild than a closer Ripari Di Giobbe."

"The water was very clean and the place is not busy. When I was there there was a very good weather."
Matteo La Torre
"The beach was nice, but littered with plastic. We parked our car on the parking lot nearby, but when we came back our window was smashed and a bag was stolen. If it was not for this unfortunate experience and the litter on the beach, I would have given 4 or 5 stars."
