11 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Spiaggia di Vignanotica, which has a rating of 8.7.

Cala dell'Aquila (Foggia) is located outside the Mattinata settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Cala dell'Aquila, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

This bay on the Gargano coast is truly stunning and can only be reached by boat. The pictures truly capture its beauty, and I must mention that when I visited in August, I had the whole place to myself.

The beach has light, fine pebbles that resemble telines. The high, white cliffs reflect the sea water and give a beautiful blue hue to the rocks. A shaded coastal path runs under the pine trees and is secured by wooden barriers, providing a lovely short hike with stunning sea views.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala dell'Aquila (Foggia) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala dell'Aquila (Foggia) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala dell'Aquila for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
