Stunning beach and sea... terrible organisation. How come they leave "the power" to an ignorant Emilian

spiaggia bellissima solo su prenotazione, mare stupendo con i pesciolini che ti nuotano vicino, visitata a fine settembre

Among the most beautiful beaches in the world, crystal clear water and very fine white sand. Enjoyable thanks to the limited entrances, which do not allow the typical crowding of the other beaches on the island. In July and August it is very difficult to book access unless months and months in advance, but in reality it is almost always possible to enter the 150 places per shift without a reservation; at least, a couple of mornings in mid-July I managed to get back into that figure without any problems. In August it is perhaps more difficult.
