Canale dell'Arco della Volpe

Canale dell'Arco della Volpe, also known as "T'Urpe' or della volpe canal", is a picturesque beach located in the Racale marina. The beach is renowned for its crystal clear water and natural rock formations that serve as springboards for diving.

The beach's most distinctive feature is the Arch, a natural rock formation that once had an arched cover on one side. This cover collapsed over time, settling disconnected on the sea floor. The Arch is now a popular spot for young people to try their hand at diving acrobatics.

Access to the Arch is via a small ladder carved into the rock, leading to an outcropping rock that borders the entire circumference of the beach. From here, visitors can jump directly into the water for a few metres, until they reach two rocks that serve as platforms for resting and chatting.

Despite its natural beauty and unique features, the beach maintains a wild and unspoiled character. It is an ideal location for those seeking a tranquil and scenic spot for diving and relaxation.
