After a bit of a challenge, we finally located the entrance to the trail, which required sturdy footwear and took roughly thirty minutes to complete. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a serene cove with a mixture of sand, gravel, and scattered stones along the shoreline. Although it didn't necessarily take our breath away like some other beaches we've visited, it still provided a tranquil and enjoyable experience.

The picturesque cove is a serene and tranquil spot, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Its secluded location means that it is not overrun with crowds, although the journey to reach it may not be entirely comfortable. Accessible from the La Roccia campsite parking lot, a 40-minute walk down a dirt road on the left will lead you to this hidden gem. Alternatively, a 15-minute walk from the old cemetery will also get you there. The water in the cove is not the typical turquoise or blue of the island, but rather a lush green due to the abundance of algae. Despite this, the area still boasts stunning marine life and breathtaking views. While there may be better beaches in the area, this cove is a must-visit for those seeking a peaceful retreat. For the descent, it is highly recommended to wear shoes and rock shoes for safe bathing.

Although it's a bit of a trek to get there, the beach is definitely worth a visit. However, it's not ideal for swimming due to the abundance of rocks and algae on the ocean floor. It's recommended to wear shoes for the 15 minute descent and rubber shoes for getting into the water. Additionally, bring your own water and food as there are no refreshment options available.

During the month of August, this cove is likely the most captivating spot on the island. It's free of crowds, the sea is serene and clear, the sand is coarse, and shade is scarce until later in the day, which is an unusual occurrence on the island. Although the road leading to it is challenging to navigate and locate, it's unquestionably worth the effort.

This beach is tucked away, not easily visible to the naked eye. However, once you discover it, you'll be amazed by its stunning beauty. It's definitely worth the journey to get there!
