La Fontana is recognised by a freshwater spring near the shore and a large rock in the middle of the inlet.
Characteristics of the place and practical guidance for a responsible visit.
A sandy beach whose spring and central rock give the cove a clear identity.
Use the map point to identify the exact bay.
Sand occupies the main shore, while a large central rock divides off a smaller section.
Check the available space before settling in.
The bottom is mostly shallow over sand but becomes less even around the central rock and edges.
Enter the water slowly and check the bottom.
Sea conditions and the spring can make rocks slippery, so check the exact entry point.
Check wind and waves before swimming.
The beach is reached from the coastal road; nearby parking is limited during busy periods.
Check the route and parking before carrying equipment.
The sand and gradual entry can suit families in calm weather, while wet rock and changing depth need attention.
Choose the safest area and supervise children at all times.
