Cala del Cretazzo
10 Lena Kessler

This shoreline can be accessed on foot within approximately ninety minutes from the nearby town. Upon traversing the expansive road leading to Carcaredda, proceed along the main path before veering left onto a well-worn trail that descends towards the sea, offering a breathtaking panorama. The path eventually leads through a wooded area and, after a brief distance, a signpost indicates the way to Spiaggia Cretazzo. Following this, a leisurely ten-minute walk along a lightly-trodden yet safe trail leads to the beach, which boasts a picturesque expanse nestled amidst rocky outcroppings.
