Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is truly enchanting, with a refreshing lack of overcrowding. It can be conveniently accessed from Cala Sabina, where you can safely store most of your beach essentials. Explore the surrounding paths and consider venturing further than Cala delle Tartarughe - the scenery is absolutely breathtaking."

"The cove is stunning due to its small size and white sandy beach, along with its shallow and incredibly clear water. However, the path leading to it from Cala Sabina is barely visible and requires navigating through frequently thorny plants, which takes approximately 40 minutes. Unfortunately, we didn't come across any turtles during our visit."
