The local's trick

Go to Cala Rossa as soon as you arrive: from 11 am onwards, space on the rocks becomes very limited.

What to bring

  • Water shoes
  • Water (there are no facilities at Cala Rossa)
  • Hat and high-protection sunscreen
  • Cash for the rental

If it's windy or bad weather

  • With an easterly wind, move your swim to the west coast: Cala Rotonda or Cala Grande.
  • If it rains, spend the afternoon at the former Stabilimento Florio and the historic center.
