we got out car opened and money and camera robbed. It seems to happen very often, but there is no police watching.The place is beautiful, but there is no real beach. Rocky cliffs and beautiful water. There is a small gay cruising scene and people are comfortable getting naked.Don't leave anything in the car.
Porto Selvaggio is a stunning nature reserve with stone beaches on the Ionian Sea. Having spent many years with the Dalmatian coast as my weekend get-away, my standards for beautiful coasts are rather high, and I was thrilled that not only does Porto Selvaggio have the pines, the cliffs, and the water, but also the scenic towers above you.
I think my title says it all, but this place is certainly worth seeking out...easy to follow the signs to the entrance where you park just outside and walk into the park about half a mile into the park and down an incline and through a pine forest which dead ends at a rocky cove and the clearest water. There are several places to lay out surrounding the cove and the water is shallow enough where you can go out pretty far. THere is also a grotto and a torre which are just a short hike from this spot.
Simply one of the best place I have ever seen in my life! Wood, sea, great view... And for the swimming lovers, very clean water.
You better believe the reviews when they say it's a wild beach. It is beautiful and it is wild.You have to park your car on the road and walk about 1 km down to the beach through what seemed like a pine wood.Once you reach, it's rocky and, when we were there, the sea was stormy so the water was choppy. It didn't seem very commercial at all although there were people tanning themselves on the rocks.To add: THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPHER'S PARADISE for 'seascape' shots. I am definitely going back even if only for that. I have docked 1 star because this is your typical beach and I am not sure how suitable it is for families.Recommended!
Right in the middle of Porto Selvaggio natural park and wildlife reserve, this beach is one of the best in Italy and this year got again the 5 sails of Legambiente green association. If you decide to visit it please bring with you water and sandwiches because there is not bars or services it is only 100% nature.
the park surrounding the beach was and still is amazing but nowadays in summertime it is really overcrowded.Also, the water is fresh, which means much more cold than other places.
One of the most beautiful, secluded swim spots in a nature reserve. invest in a snorkel!
This us a rocky wild beach attached which you get to going through a protected forest. The beauty is undeniable and so is the quality, cleanliness of the Chrystal clear water is undeniable. However if you're going with small children remember that it's a little walk from the road. You also need to get some snacks and water as there is a little shack selling a few things but as there's nothing else he runs out fairly quickly.
if you are visiting the area, please be sure to spend a day at porto selvaggio, cross that park heading down to a marvelous sea....dont forget ur drinks and sandwiches as there are no bars or restaurants..... really beautifully wild!
