💡 Tips
- Swim or paddle out to the Islet of Marmorata just offshore for snorkeling away from the main beach crowds.
- Take advantage of windy days for windsurfing, as the bay is well-exposed to the Mistral wind.
- Head to nearby Santa Teresa Gallura in the evening for a traditional Italian stroll in the main square.
- Wear sturdy shoes if you plan to explore the impressive granite rock formations along the coastline.
- Look across the strait to see the coast of Corsica; on clear days, you can spot the town of Bonifacio.
