it Bella e riparata dal maestrale, questa è una piccola spiaggia a cui si accede da un facile sentiero (meno di 5 minuti) che parte dal parcheggio. La sabbia non è il massimo, grana grossa piuttosto scura ma il panorama è ottimo con la Maddalena in primo piano.

it Spiaggia piccola, poco affollata , arrivati qua grazie ad altre recensioni, non offre bar o altro, ma ti permette di stare in relax e goderti un po di mare tranquillo...nuoti e ....i pesci li vedi vicino a te...ci si arriva dopo una brevissima camminata lungo un sentiero
