This beach, nestled at the foot of Punta Falcone Park, is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and its stunning setting in one of the most scenic gulfs in Tuscany. One of the highlights of the beach is a natural terrace that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the sea, featuring the first giant bench of its kind in Italy.
Calamoresca has a rocky terrain, which is safe and non-sharp, but visitors are encouraged to bring something soft to place under their towels for comfort. The beach is known for its clear and clean waters, which deepen into a beautiful blue shade further out, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and freediving. The water is rich with fish, adding to the allure for snorkelers and freedivers.
