- Kukipegs P30 contributionsSpent a lovely morning here. Free beach after sun loungers. Pebble but snorkelling great with wreck about 40 m out. Stones slippy when getting in and out.Written 13 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jim RSanta Fe, NM41 contributionsSo worth it. It can get cold and windy for the top 1/3 of the ride, but it's worth the effort. You can see Porto Ferraio and Porto Assure at the same time from the top. The bird cage experience is just so goofy you have to do it if you are there.Written 9 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pomegranateSeattle, WA88 contributionsEven in September, a bit after the high season, this beach is packed. There are 3 or 4 companies renting umbrellas and lounge chairs. Between them, they cover a great percent of the sand. However, services are convenient (restaurant, buffet, bar, changing areas, toilet). We had to park quite a distance away, up a steep hill. That said, the sand and the sea here are spectacular!Written 6 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FrederikAgdrupHumlebaek, Denmark6 contributionsDifficult to park close to the beach but with nice sand and a great bar close to the beach.
The water is very shallow so it’s a good place for games in the water and good for small kids.Written 28 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is too commercial for my liking but the water is great and the kids liked renting a pedal boat with built in slide.Written 22 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gilly HLondon, UK66 contributionsClean sea, safe for families, sensible prices in all the beachside cafes, a very low key but charming place in which to relax.Written 11 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jen HLos Osos, CA73 contributionsThe beach was beautiful and we were part of a hotel which kept it from getting too crowded. The water was warm. It was also beautiful. However, once we started snorkeling, we found quite a lot of small jellyfish. They were not a problem for us. Just be careful.Written 2 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
