Cala Rossa

This beach, which is located on the picturesque island of Favignana, is one that you will not soon forget. Cala Rossa is breathtakingly beautiful, with vivid turquoise seas lapping against rusty red cliffs. Although there are no pristine white sands on this beach, the intriguing rock formations make for a nice place to relax in the sun.

The beach here can get crowded, so get there early. If you want a bit more privacy and space, you can find a small private area to sunbathe protected by the rocks.

Make sure you're wearing shoes when you arrive so you can struggle over the rocks and then slide into the deliciously chilly waters. The pristine water makes for great snorkeling - try to find the little fish that dart about the rocks.
