Marina Grande
The Marina Grande beach is the main in the village. It is the most frequented by the people that live there and tourists and it is the one in which more events are held.
Marina Grande welcomes several establishments and areas where you do not have to pay to go to the beach. Moreover, from there it is possible to get on small boats to reach other more isolated and quiet beaches.
