This hidden gem of a beach, known as Caletta, is a true paradise. We visited in early September and were amazed at how peaceful it was, with the most stunningly clear water we have ever seen. For a small fee of 15€ in cash, you can rent an umbrella and sunbeds to make your stay even more comfortable. There is also a convenient drink service available for those who need a refreshing beverage. We heard that during the peak season, lunch service is available, but we cannot confirm this. The only downside to this paradise is the slightly challenging trail on the way back, which can be steep at times. However, with the aid of steps, it is still manageable. Our advice is to take your time and enjoy the scenery. While it may get busy during peak season, which is typical of most beaches in Argentario, it is still worth visiting. Just be aware that parking may be difficult to find. The only other downside is that the sun sets behind the mountain around 5pm, but this is a minor detail in comparison to the beauty of Caletta. Overall, we highly recommend this beach as a must-visit destination.
The beach is adorned with stunning pebbles and though the space is limited, a cozy establishment is available for dining without the need for an umbrella. The trek to the beach involves a steep path and a final staircase that offers a breathtaking panoramic view, but it can be quite strenuous to climb or descend. Street parking is available for visitors. This beach is teeming with an abundance of fish, making it a perfect spot for fishing enthusiasts.
Stunning! The descent to the beach may be a bit challenging, but the return hike is equally demanding, so make sure to be prepared. However, the effort is absolutely worthwhile as you will experience the sensation of being in a secluded cove, surrounded by crystal-clear and refreshing waters, and a pebbled beach. Additionally, you can enjoy a delicious lunch around noon.
The parking situation on the main road is quite limited, but the path leading down to the beach is a combination of steps and slopes, which may vary in difficulty depending on personal circumstances. Nonetheless, we were able to make the descent with ease, even with young children in tow. The beach itself is composed entirely of stones and features a small kiosk that offers a variety of beverages and possibly food from the nearby town, although we did not partake in any of these offerings. For those interested, the kiosk also rents out umbrellas, sun beds, kayaks (€5/hour), and pedalos (€10/hour).
A heaven on earth!
