La Botte is not a sandy beach: it is a rocky Marina di Andrano sea-access area with small coves and water that becomes deeper fairly quickly. It is also important for accessibility through the Swim Liberi di Nuotare experience, whose current seasonal operation should be checked.
Location, accessibility, seabed, parking and facilities have been checked carefully. Excellent for swimming and snorkelling, with caution on rocks, depth and seasonal services.
Rocks, small coves and platforms define La Botte.
Choose another beach if you want sand and shoreline games.
Swim Liberi di Nuotare documents platforms and mobility aids such as Job and Hippocampe chairs.
The project is documented through 2025: check current-season operation.

Some entry areas are shallower, but depth can increase after a short distance.
Weak swimmers should stay near the easiest access.
It can work for confident children, but the coast is rocky and depth increases.

The pin is on Spiaggia della Botte in the La Botte area, not Grotta Verde or Porticciolo della Botte. It marks the bathing area, not a guaranteed parking bay.
