It stretches for about 800 meters, offering soft, golden sand and crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming and water sports. The beach is flanked by cliffs and surrounded by a lush pine forest, providing a refreshing respite from the sun. Torre dell'Orso is named after the 16th-century coastal tower, built to protect against Saracen attacks.
