What to do in St. Maria del Focallo? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the St. Maria del Focallo can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than St. Maria del Focallo welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at St. Maria del Focallo. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

In most cases, the question What to do on St. Maria del Focallo implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

8 Very good

We visited the beach on a particularly windy day, which made it ideal for kite surfers but less enjoyable for those seeking a typical beach experience. The food selection was decent, although the quality was just average. Additionally, there is room for improvement when it comes to the facilities.

This beach is an incredibly unique and pleasant spot for families to relax and enjoy activities like wind surfing. It offers amenities such as a beach bar, comfortable deck chairs, a spacious, clean, and freely accessible beach, showers, drinking water, and parking.

2 Very poor

The food at this place is outdated, and a majority of the staff seems to be focused on trying to drive people away from the public beach that they falsely claim as their own. They have fenced off the entire beach, even though they don't legally own the water, and they loudly reprimand anyone who walks past their beach bar on the PUBLIC BEACH. The locals have a strong dislike for this establishment, and it's evident from the overwhelmingly negative reviews it has received compared to other places in the area.

The beach is fantastic with a couple of charming cafes nearby. It's pleasantly serene and favored by the locals. However, it's important to note that English is not widely spoken, so having Google Translate handy would be helpful.
