Fontanamare is a picturesque beach located on the west side of the island. It is characterized by its long stretch of fine sand and is renowned for its breathtaking sunset views. The beach is easily accessible, with ample parking available close to the seaside.
The beach lacks certain amenities such as toilets and changing rooms, and there is only one small bar in the vicinity. If a beach bar is necessary, visitors must walk approximately 1.5 km to the next beach south of Fontanamare. Despite these shortcomings, the beach is a popular spot for kite surfing, particularly in late September when the wind conditions are favorable.
Visitors are advised to visit Fontanamare between the waning quarter moon and the waxing quarter moon. During this period, the beach experiences low tide and lower currents, creating more favorable conditions for beachgoers. Outside of this period, the beach can have high waves and currents, which may not be suitable for all visitors.
Fontanamare amenities include parking.
You can enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the bars situated on the beach.
Visitor reviews highlight the beach's appeal for its nice sandy stretch and amazing sunset views, with easy access from the parking area. The beach is also appreciated for its suitability for kite surfing, especially during windy conditions. However, visitors complain about the lack of amenities such as toilets, changing rooms, and beach bars, and the need to cross through a dog beach due to a destroyed bridge on the route suggested by Google Maps.
