For those who consider the sea as synonymous with relaxation, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island is Cala Sidoti: a delightful cove of dark pebbles washed by a beautiful shallow crystal clear sea, one of the two swimming areas within the Marine Protected Area where the environment protection is highest.

Not to be missed are the following swimming sites: the Natural Pool at the foot of the Punta Cavazzi lighthouse; the cove and the pier at Punta Spalmatore, just below the Bourbon tower; the cove of the Lighthouse, where a handy concrete platform has been built; Scogli Piatti with its unique tuff slabs; Punta Megna, the Punticedda with a view of the Faraglioni; Cala San Paolo and Grotta Verde and many others. The Cala di Passo della Madonna, the Faraglioni and many other sites can only be reached by sea.
