La Ciaccia between Coast, Nature and Local History

Coast, Paths and Water Sports

The “Trekking Baia Ostina” hike runs along the coast and leads through the volcanic cliffs of Scala di Lu Frati. It ends at Baia Ostina Beach, where swimming is possible, allowing you to combine a coastal path with time at the beach when planning your day. Maragnani Beach offers a different way to access the sea: a steep staircase leads directly from the car park to the beach. For mobility planning, the steep staircase is a specific feature of this beach access. Maragnani is also suitable for surfing and windsurfing. Kayaking is another experience associated with La Ciaccia. When planning your day, the difference between Baia Ostina and Maragnani lies in the access: Baia Ostina ends at the beach after the coastal hike, while Maragnani is reached from the car park via a steep staircase.

Beaches and Landscape

The “Trekking la Ciaccia Rurale” route passes through a landscape primarily characterized by plant species from evergreen Mediterranean woodland, Mediterranean maquis and garrigue. Spiaggia di San Pietro and Spiaggia di Valledoria are located in the immediate vicinity of La Ciaccia; both are beaches. Roccia dell'Elefante, a ruin site, is also nearby, while Monte Ossoni offers a different type of landscape as a mountain. Spiaggia della Baia delle Mimose, a beach, is also located in the area around La Ciaccia.

Baia dei Ginepri Beach is almost deserted. The sandy beach of Prima Guardia is surrounded by Mediterranean maquis. Prima Guardia also has a rocky seabed of volcanic origin with shallow, dark green water. Anyone choosing a beach based on visible features can consider the sand, maquis, rocky seabed and shallow, dark green water at Prima Guardia together.
