Spiaggia di Sant'Alessandro is a small, peaceful beach known for its natural beauty. It is characterized by its black sand and clear waters, making it a hidden paradise for those who enjoy being close to nature. The beach is quite small, with a length of no more than 20 meters and a width of about 2 meters. It is also noted for its stony terrain, with stones covered in moss adding to its unique charm.
The beach offers basic amenities such as a toilet and the availability of water for purchase. There are also gastronomic offerings nearby, although these are not directly on the beach. It is important to note that there are no waste bins on the beach or along the way to it, so visitors are encouraged to take their trash with them.
