Spiaggia dei Fichi, Sandy beach in Nora, Italy
Spiaggia dei Fichi is a sandy beach in Nora with white sand and shallow waters facing the islet of San Macario and Torre del Coltellazzo. The shoreline stretches several hundred meters and provides direct views of these coastal landmarks.
The beach lies near Nora, an ancient Phoenician settlement founded between the ninth and eighth centuries BC. The origins of this coastal region are rooted in early Mediterranean trade and settlement patterns.
The name comes from the fig trees that grow abundantly in the surrounding Mediterranean vegetation shaping the character of this coastal location. Visitors can observe these plants as they explore the shoreline and nearby dunes.
The beach is easy to find by following signs toward the Nora archaeological site and turning left at the excavation junction. A dirt road leads directly to this shoreline and makes access straightforward.
The beach connects with the adjacent Nora beach to form a continuous stretch of white sand along the coast. This natural connection allows visitors to explore both areas in a single visit.
