It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Lido Cala Paura you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own.

In most cases, the question What to do on Lido Cala Paura 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.

a charming place but due to the rocky coast there is little space. Sunbathing on the rocks and jumping off them into the water is undoubtedly an attraction

Nice and quiet place. Recommend it for people who don’t like crowded places.

This beach is definitely on Instagram top list since it offers such gorgeous landscape of the clear water in the middle of 65 feet limestone cliffs. Super super gorgeous and very busy on the weekends. However, the beach is not sandy. There are small rocks and very uncomfortable for laying and enjoying your sunbathing time. Even in the water, the ground is rocky and at times very sharp. I suggest you wearing water shoes or swim in order not to walk on the ground.

Nick Burov

10 Exceptional

It’s very comfortable beach (and with toilet) during windy weather: there are a lot of big waves in September, wich make it very hard to swim bear the rocky coast, but the shape of this beach protects you. As a result, people having fun on bug but not dangerous waves even in the stormy days, can jump from rocks in the water, there are not many people. On the rock to the left there is a beautiful places and views. Highly recommend 👍

Definitely not as pretty as the main beach in town but for comfort and facilities this is the best beach. Not huge rocks to lay on so it's actually comfortable, and they have good, sucks and bathrooms here. Populated with locals and not tourists.
