Il Porticciolo

Novaglie’s small tourist harbour, cut into the rocky coast and connected to Via Amerigo Vespucci by the Park’s Sentiero del Porto.

Il Porticciolo: what to know before you go

The old page treated the harbour almost like a natural swimming pool. It is first and foremost an active harbour: the Park describes a rock-cut approach, and harbour rules document a navigation corridor where swimming is prohibited.

Rock-cut harbour

The Park describes the harbour as cut into a former limestone quarry at sea level.

Function

Follow the safety guidance for this point.

Sentiero del Porto C02

It starts on Via Amerigo Vespucci, crosses the harbour and climbs back by natural-stone steps.

Data

Trekking and Joelette

The Park also lists Joelette use for the trail.

Accessibility

Questo non equivale a un accesso autonomo in carrozzina o a una battigia senza ostacoli.

Do not swim in the boat corridor

Harbour rules establish an entrance/exit corridor for boats where swimming and anchoring are prohibited.

Rule

Check buoys, signs and boat traffic before entering the water.

Not a cliff-jumping spot

The old page suggested this.

Safety

Avoid jumps: there may be underwater obstacles and moving boats.

Families

The harbour is worth seeing and the trail is short, but children need constant supervision in an active port.

For swimming

Scegli soltanto settori chiaramente destinati alla balneazione, fuori dai corridoi nautici.

Snorkelling

Do not snorkel in boat manoeuvring areas.

Alternative

Use bathing access outside the harbour and stay away from the entrance.

The Sentiero del Porto passes a panoramic parking area above the harbour.

Good to know

Follow the safety guidance for this point.

What to bring

Scarpe comode, acqua, cappello e protezione solare.
