User reviews
"The beach is petite and secluded, yet it exudes a distinctive charm. It can only accommodate a handful of visitors, and there is no sandy shore, but it provides a serene environment to indulge in the stunning waters. I highly suggest wearing a mask to marvel at the underwater world."
Rafael Santoro
"This beach, surrounded by volcanic rocks, can be reached from two different directions. It's home to a variety of marine life, including sea bream, small mullet, and redfish. The pebbles on the shore are no more than 3-4 in size, but as you venture further into the sea, the water deepens. This beach is truly deserving of a visit."

Cala Tunnara (Potenza) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Tunnara (Potenza) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Tunnara for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
