it Caletta bellissima ed estremamente selvaggia. Abbastanza complicata e pericolosa la discesa dal parcheggio, non per tutti.

it Bellissima spiaggia accessibile via mare. Abbiamo seguito una stradina che sovrastava la spiaggia ma diventav troppo pericolosa ad una altezza di 50 metri con una larghezza della stradina di 40 cm. Ci siamo fermati e siamo ritornati indietro. Abbiamo goduto della spiaggia dall'alto soddisfattissimi. Sconsiglio vivamente improvvisazioni o altro.

it Forse non la più bella esteticamente, un po' scosceso e ripido il sentiero che la raggiunge (ma lo si percorre in pochi minuti), però perfetta per le domeniche estive quando si vuole un po' di pace lontani dalle spiagge affollate. La strada sterrata che porta alla spiaggia è in almeno un tratto ripida e accidentata, ma comunque percorribile anche con auto normali.
