This beach is easily accessible and we decided to come here for a casual aperitivo where we ordered 5 spitzs.

Spiaggia del Gigante is a fantastic spot for a relaxing getaway. I highly recommend it, especially since it's easily accessible. While the waves may have been too high for swimming, I still had a wonderful time. The services provided are of excellent quality, and the beach and water are impeccably maintained.
