Lovely place and off the mass tourist circuits, the
Tremiti Islands are a real natural paradise. Even the beaches are distinguished by their peculiar appearance: coves and coves that degrade towards the sea; some of sand and pebbles, some, wilder and rocky others.
The smaller beaches are located in San Nicola, while others are reachable only by sea, such as Cala dei Pagliai. The most equipped from a tourist point of view are the sandy ones and are mainly concentrated on the island of San Domino, where standard accommodation services are provided.
The main ones are: Cala Matano and Cala dei Benedictini, equipped with umbrellas and deckchairs; Cala delle Arene, Cala Zio Cesare and Cala del Bue Marino, where instead it is advisable to bring any equipment for greater comfort. Cala delle Arene: relatively wide as a sandy beach compared to the average size of the Cale delle Tremiti, it is characterized by a language of white sand, on the east coast of the island of San Dominoes. It has crystal clear waters that invite you to dive, also because the seabed declines gently.
Next to the beach is the suggestive Arenile Grotto, 10 meters long and about 2 meters wide. Cala Matano (or Cala Duchessa): wild and suggestive, this cove is surrounded by rich vegetation and limestone rocks. It is a natural cove that overlooks turquoise and transparent waters, ideal for bathing and swimming thanks to the sandy seabed. It can be reached both by land, through a path that slopes down, and by sea by boat. It is equipped with umbrellas and deckchairs.
Cala degli Inglesi: named after the shipwreck of a British ship in the 19th century, this cove located on the northwest coast of the island is reachable via a path that climbs among lush Mediterranean vegetation. The waters are blue with a mixed bottom between sand and debris in the first meters. In front of the cove there is a tourist village.
Cala Tamariello: so called by the presence of the shrimp, (in the dialect “amarielli”), this cove is a cove closed to the left by the Punta del Diamante, which represents the extreme northern limit of the island of San Domino. The beach lends itself to the docking of small boats. From the cove, rather rocky, you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset.
Cala Tonda: so called for its unique circular shape, so much that it looks like a pond surrounded by rocks. To visit the homonymous Grotto, located at the bottom of the cove: about 30 meters long by 3 in width, it is almost all immersed in the darkness.
