Spiaggia di Cala Fico, Beach in Carloforte, Italy
Description
Spiaggia di Cala Fico is a small beach on the coast of San Pietro surrounded by dense vegetation and rock formations. The shoreline is low and slippery with stones rather than sand, while the water in front remains clear and shallow near the edge.
History
This beach has long been part of the natural coastal makeup of San Pietro Island in the Mediterranean. Over centuries it remained largely unaltered through geographic remoteness and retained its original character.
Culture
The beach draws its name from the nearby cove and remains a quiet gathering place shaped by nature rather than development. Visitors experience this simplicity through the absence of commercial facilities, which defines the character of the location.
Practical
The beach is accessible via a narrow path winding between rocks and vegetation that requires sturdy footwear. Visitors should walk carefully, especially when surfaces are wet, as the stones can become slippery.
Did you know?
The seabed consists mainly of rocks forming a rough surface that requires care when wading in. This underwater makeup creates a different swimming experience compared to sandy beaches in the region.
