Italy

There’s a statue of Jesus and a little island made of rocks just by the beach. The beach continues for a long stretch of sand.

This was a hike along Capo Carbonara. It’s possible to make a loop instead of coming back on the same trail. The trails could really benefit from having a preferred walking direction, because they are very narrow and surrounded by thorny plants.

This was a nice, nearly empty, beach. Note that there’s a bit of waves and the water gets deep quickly.

One of the best spots for snorkeling and pictures of the weird rocks.

This happened to be close enough to walk there, so some of the pictures are from the way there. There’s only a small area of usable sand, because of lot of it was wet and looked like clay, so you should always expect this to be overcrowded. It’s sheltered from the wind and there’s…

This is from a walk along the beach close to Villasimius.

It’s a pretty large archeological site, with the added interest that you can see the archeologists excavating and measuring.

Coastal hiking route.

It was a nice beach, but you have to book in advance and pay to enter the beach, pay for parking, buy a mat to put under your beach towel… and then it’s still very crowded even with the limited access.

Great for snorkeling because of rocky bottom.
