Beaches

Urbani beach

Spiaggia Urbani is located just above the centre and offers amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas and kayaks rentals, bars and restaurant.

San Michele beach

Spiaggia San Michele is located just next to Urbani and, while still offering the same amenities, it has a wilder look.

Due sorelle beach

Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle is a beach of white round pebbles which can be seen through the crystal clear water. The name of this beach, which means "two sisters" is due to the twin sea stack raising from the water,which look like two nouns praying.
