Viglia Beach

Viglia Beach is a sandy beach located in a quiet area. It is known for its serene atmosphere and is not typically crowded, even during peak hours. The beach is spacious, providing ample room for visitors. The sand is unique, composed of very tiny shell parts, giving it a yellowish hue. One of the distinguishing features of Viglia Beach is the presence of flat rock plates at the shoreline. These rocks are smooth and can be a bit slippery, but they do not necessitate the use of footwear. The sea gets deep only a few meters out, making it a great spot for snorkeling. Fish can often be seen swimming around in the clear waters. The beach is equipped with a few amenities for the comfort of its visitors. There are changing booths with showers, a small playground for children, and a small football pitch. However, there are not many sunbeds available and there is no place to buy refreshments. Parking is conveniently available on the quiet road adjacent to the beach. The beach is somewhat of a hidden gem, popular among locals but not overrun by tourists. Despite its tranquility, it is easily accessible, with an easy entry point from the right side corner of the beach. Overall, Viglia Beach is a beautiful and peaceful place, perfect for those seeking a serene beach experience.
