This beach is definitely a must-visit! For a mere 3 euros, you can take a short hike of 10-15 minutes to reach the grotto. Although the journey may require some effort, the breathtaking view from the top is definitely worth it. Although the local authorities have become stricter recently, prohibiting the use of fins, swimming under the arch, and bringing towels, don't let that stop you from experiencing the beauty of this place. If you take the left path, you can even discover a mini arch without any interruptions. So, don't let anyone bring you down and make sure to visit this amazing spot!

The beach was delightful, although the parking fee of 2€ per hour was a bit steep. Additionally, it took some effort to locate a free spot on the beach as it required a decent walk.

The beach offers a breathtaking sight of the coastline, where the waters are crystal clear and the view is simply magical. The unique rock formation adds to the charm of the beach, and on clear days, you can even catch a glimpse of Stromboli. While there are a few bars on the beach, it is advisable to avoid their cocktail drinks. There is ample parking space available nearby, although the private parking can be quite expensive, costing around 10€ per day.

This nice beach boasts not only picturesque views, but also a delectable selection of dishes and fruits at the Grotticelle restaurant. The prices are unbeatable, and guests can enjoy free Wifi and access to restrooms. For a truly unforgettable experience, I highly recommend renting a pedalone and taking a leisurely stroll along the shoreline. The sights are simply awe-inspiring!
