Sant’Isidoro Tower stands less than 50 metres from the sea. local public sources records its rebuilding from the foundations between 1622 and 1624; today the tower is under private concession.
Practical information checked for access, sea conditions, services and safety. local public sources confirms the tower is currently under private concession, so this guide does not promise interior access.
Easy to reach from the built-up area and seafront. Treat it mainly as an exterior landmark; public interior access should not be assumed.
If an access point is closed or altered, do not improvise shortcuts: use authorised routes only.
This is not a beach; use designated public bathing accesses in the resort.
Before moving away from shore, identify a safe exit point and do not enter if waves or current exceed your ability.
Suitable as a family sightseeing or historical stop, but it is not a serviced bathing area.
Before planning the day, consider access, distance from services, crowding and how easy it will be to get back.
Use resort parking; rules and availability can change in summer. Arrive early in peak season and check local signs.
Do not leave valuables visible in the car and do not occupy verges, access points or unauthorised spaces.

A small free beach beside the 16th-century coastal tower, mixing sand, pebbles and low rock: more intimate and natural than nearby Sant’Isidoro, with a mixed seabed and good snorkelling.
Conca del Diavolo is a small rocky inlet between Sant’Isidoro and Torre Squillace, where rock, stones and small coastal recesses dominate.
Barzolla Beach is a small free coastal sector north of Sant’Isidoro’s main bay, historically described as a mix of sand, stones, low rock and coastal vegetation. The pin is a sector reference because no dedicated official coordinate for the local name was found.
Sant’Isidoro Islet lies off the tower and main bay. The Italian Islands Award list records it as “Isolotto di Torre Sant’Isidoro” at 40.21867, 17.92162.
A small free shoreline inside the Porto Selvaggio and Palude del Capitano Regional Park: sandy pockets among low rocks, cold springs in the southern sector, protected vegetation and a unique karst wetland behind the sea.
Two small free sandy inlets among low rocks, just south of Sant’Isidoro’s main bay: a compact spot that keeps the historic name Lido dell’Ancora but should not be confused with the private business of the same name.
