The local's trick
Praia is the only beach reachable on foot from the pier: perfect if you don't want to rent anything.
What to bring
- Parasol or hat
- Slippers
- Baby changing facilities
- Snack
If it's windy or bad weather
- With a south wind, Lido Burrone becomes rough: head to Cala Azzurra instead.
- In case of rain, the Florio museum is indoors and just a few minutes from the port.
