Porto Badisco Beach is a unique beach located in Italy. It is characterized by its beautiful water and rocky terrain, as the sandy beach that was once there has been replaced by pebbles and rocks.
This natural characteristic makes it a great spot for swimming and even rock jumping, although visitors are advised to bring swimming shoes for comfort.
The beach can get crowded during the high season, and parking might be a challenge when the main carpark up the hill is full. Despite these challenges, the beach is well worth a visit for its tranquility and natural beauty.
However, potential visitors should note that access to the water can be difficult due to the rocky shallows, making it a challenge to reach a depth suitable for swimming.
