The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Baia dei Mergoli Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

User reviews
"This seaside location is now open to the public, with hotels closed for the time being. The parking fee is a reasonable 10 EUR, while an umbrella will set you back 20 EUR (or 30 if you don't pay for parking). If you prefer not to rent an umbrella, there's plenty of shade to be had from the rocks. A small bar is also on hand, serving refreshing drinks and tasty sandwiches."

"Immerse yourself in the breathtaking vistas of the 'Faraglioni' at this beach, but don't settle for just that. Venture forth to Vignanotica beach, a true gem among the many beaches I've visited. The mere distance of a few miles separates you from this paradise on earth. Don't miss out on the opportunity to indulge in its beauty and splendor."
