Cala Morvi
5 min read
Five swims within a walk
From our own jetty to the hidden cove below the chapel: the five places we send guests to swim, and when to go.
The five
The jetty, thirty-eight steps from the garden. Cala Piccola, ten minutes along the path, sandy and good for children. The flat rocks under the chapel, best before eleven.
Further out: the cove at the halfway point of the lighthouse path, and the long pebble beach at Marinella, a twenty-minute walk or a two-minute boat ride.
When to go
Early, or after five. In August the water stays warm well into the evening.
