Spiaggia della Biodola, Sandy beach in Scaglieri, Italy
Spiaggia della Biodola is a sandy beach stretching approximately 600 meters along the Mediterranean, surrounded by hills covered with Mediterranean vegetation. The shoreline provides a gentle transition from land to water, creating an inviting space for different activities.
The beach lies in an area that held strategic importance during World War II, when tunnel systems were carved into the rocks. These defensive structures are now part of the island's past and show the coast's role in historical times.
The restaurants near the beach serve traditional fish dishes from the island, prepared using recipes passed down through generations. Many visitors stop here to taste local specialties and experience how people on the island approach their meals.
You can rent umbrellas, sunbeds, and water sports equipment at the beach, with several bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Access to the shoreline is straightforward, and the facilities make a visit comfortable and simple.
A natural rock formation along the coast creates a passage between this beach and the neighboring Scaglieri beach. This geological feature allows visitors to explore the shoreline in different ways.
