Baia dei Diavoli: What to know before you go
Checked practical information on access, sea conditions, services and safety. The regional source describes Posto Rosso as a low rocky coast with small free coves and notes that the coast becomes rougher to the north. We found no dedicated beach management for Baia dei Diavoli, so treat it as an unserviced natural setting.
Small rocky bay on the Alliste coast
Baia dei Diavoli is a rocky cove in the Posto Rosso area. It is rougher and deeper than the low coves elsewhere along the resort: a place for confident swimmers and calm-sea snorkelling, not an easy beach.

Getting there and access
Reach it from the Marina di Alliste coastal road, with a final walk over rock. There is no regular sandy entrance: use stable passages only and do not descend when rocks are wet or the sea is pushing onto shore.

Sea, coast and seabed
Rocky and mixed seabed, becoming deep quickly in several places. Water can be very clear, but getting back onto the rocks becomes difficult with waves and surge.

Parking and services
There are no confirmed services inside the cove. Park only where permitted along the resort roads; space is limited in summer. Bars and services are along Posto Rosso and the coastal road, not on the rocks in the bay.

The rocky coast and paths are uneven and are not barrier-free. Visitors with reduced mobility, pushchairs or wheelchairs should use viewpoints that do not require crossing the rocks.
