Cala San Quirico

Cala San Quirico is a secluded beach known for its unique natural characteristics. The beach is entirely made up of stones, making it a unique spot for visitors. However, visitors are advised to bring something comfortable to lay on as the stones can be uncomfortable for lounging with just a towel. The sea at Cala San Quirico can sometimes be a bit wild, adding to the natural charm of the place.

The beach is not easily accessible by vehicle, requiring a 20 to 30-minute downhill walk to reach it. The uphill return journey can take slightly longer. Despite the challenging access, the beach is rarely overcrowded, making it a peaceful retreat for those willing to make the journey.

Visitors are advised to come prepared as there are no amenities or services available at the beach. It is recommended to bring food, drinks, and necessary beach gear, including water shoes for comfort while swimming. The surrounding area is also suitable for outdoor activities such as trail running, hiking, and bird watching. However, visitors should be aware of bird hunters in the area.
