Spiaggia di Funnovòjere

One of Corsano’s best-known seaside localities, with a rocky shoreline, tidal pools linked to salt-gathering traditions and the starting point of the Funnuvojere–Calaveddha trail.

Spiaggia di Funnovòjere: what to know before you go

Funnovòjere is more accurately a rocky seaside locality than a true beach. Since 2026 the municipality has been progressing a project for an equipped sea descent; in June it was still in the Services Conference stage, so we do not present it as completed.

Rocky coast, not a sandy beach

Corsano lists Funnuvojere among its marine localities and the Park describes a rocky coast crossed by old salt routes.

Expectations

Do not expect sand or a uniform seabed.

D03 trail starts here

The Funnuvojere–Calaveddha trail begins at the end of the marina service road and heads south to Guardiola.

Official data

1,424 m, about 41 minutes, difficulty T–E.

Tidal pools and salt history

At the beginning of the trail the Park identifies tidal pools and rock pools historically used for salt gathering.

Heritage

They are part of the Salt Routes landscape and should not be damaged.

Exposed trail sections

After an easier first stretch, D03 becomes narrow and rocky and in places runs close to the high coast.

Caution

The Park warns that the track can be difficult to see on exposed rock.

Rocky swimming access

Slippery surfaces, rough sea and the exit point matter more than water clarity.

Before entering

Use water shoes and assess conditions.

Since 2026: equipped descent project

In June 2026 the municipality opened a Services Conference for a project to improve sea access at Funnuvojere.

Correct status

It is an administrative project; this page does not claim it is already built.

Seasonal shuttle since 2026

From 25 July 2026 a free municipal service linked Funnuvojere, Guardiola and Novaglie.

Check first

Timetable and operating season can change.

Families

Less convenient than a sandy beach for small children while access remains rocky.

With young children

Choose an easier access if you need a regular seabed and play space.

Accessibility

The planned improved descent does not mean current universal accessibility.

Important

Wait for confirmed completion and official accessibility information before relying on new facilities.

What to bring

Comfortable shoes, water shoes, water, hat, sunscreen, mask and light luggage.

Respect

Take rubbish away and do not disturb tidal pools.
