Portulignu Bay

Portulignu Bay is a beach that has been cherished by locals and visitors alike for many years. It is located near an archaeological site, which has increased its popularity. The beach is known for its unique natural characteristics, including protection from direct wind and current, making it suitable for swimmers of all ages and abilities. The bay is particularly appreciated by snorkeling enthusiasts. The beach has a mix of depth and shallowness, with sand underfoot, making it ideal for both swimming and wading. However, the beach lacks extensive space for sitting or laying, which might limit its appeal for those looking to lounge. Despite this, it is a great spot for a quick dip due to its clean water. The clarity of the water improves as one moves deeper into the bay. While the beach can get busy, it is not typically overcrowded. It is worth noting that swimming is no longer permitted at the nearby Grotta della Poesia, which has led to an increase in visitors to Portulignu Bay.
