Spiaggia di San Giorgio: what to know before you go

The updated page keeps its natural character but removes absolute claims about solitude, wind and always-shallow water. San Giorgio is a distinct beach and conditions vary by section.

Fine sand and flat rocks

The beach is mixed, with sand and flat rock outcrops near the water.

Before settling

Check the exact stretch.

Access through the pinewood

The shore is reached by crossing the pinewood behind it.

Summer

Travel light and protect vegetation.
