Torre Uluzzo Bay: What to know before you go
Checked practical information on access, sea conditions, services and safety. Since 2026 the municipality has operated new electric mobility within the park and carried out works on the firebreak road at the Uluzzo entrance. These changes help park access but do not turn the bay into an easy or serviced beach.
Rocky bay in Porto Selvaggio Park
Torre Uluzzo Bay is one of the most dramatic and rugged stretches of Porto Selvaggio Park: cliffs, Mediterranean scrub, the remains of the 16th-century tower and an important archaeological landscape. It is not an easy beach and not a place for flip-flops.

Getting there and access
Reach the area from the SP286 and the park entrances/trails. The final descent to the rocky shore is short but steep, stony and uneven: use visible routes only and avoid improvised tracks along cliff edges.

Sea, coast and seabed
There is no sandy beach: entry is from the rocks, with uneven depth and seabed. The water can be very clear and good for snorkelling, but waves and surge make getting out harder when conditions change.
