it Questa spiaggia è un po' distante e va raggiunta a piedi dopo aver parcheggiato in un parcheggio molto distante dalla spiaggia. Si inizia a camminare per un sentiero sabbioso ma di facile percorrenza, dopo una ventina di minuti di cammino in questo sentiero terroso si riesce ad arrivare alla spiaggia, la sabbia è bianca e il mare cristallino. La testa del polpo si vede con molta fantasia in realtà però se si ha appunto fantasia si può sorridere guardando questa roccia e pensare che sia un polpo.

it Spiaggia incantevole. La spiaggia è piccola, quindi nelle ore di punta è facile non trovare abbastanza posto, ma se volete andarci di mattina preso o durante il tramonto è più facile trovarlo (e ne vale assolutamente la pena). Per raggiungerla in percorso non è il massimo (visto le numerose buche), quindi vi conviene andarci a piedi lasciando la macchina nel primo parcheggio. In motorino è facilmente raggiungibile o se no con auto leggermente più alte.

it Caratterizzata da una enorme pietra granitica scolpita dal vento che le dà il nome, si riconosce subito appena si arriva. Darei una stella alla strada e 10 al mare. Il sentiero è davvero devastato. A fatica ci si arriva in auto a meno che non abbiate un fuoristrada per aggirare le voragini del sentiero ed i sassi sporgenti... Ma dopo mille peripezie si arriva a un parcheggio gratuito abbastanza ampio. L'acqua è limpida, pulitissima così come la sabbia. Luogo selvaggio privo di costruzioni.

it Magnifica spiaggia dal punto di vista naturalistico, purtroppo piccola. Facile l'accesso, il parcheggio è a circa 60 metri dall'ingresso dopo un lungo sterrato. Consigliata con i venti tra N e O. Non è presente alcun servizio igienico o punto ristoro.
