Porretto Beach Details
If you can't choose between lounging on a sunchair or zipping through the ocean on a jet ski, then this family-run beach has the best of both worlds. Not only will you get to enjoy miles of pristine shoreline, but you'll also have fun outdoor activities at your fingertips, including jet-skiing, volleyball, and fishing. It is hard to miss this beach as the entire coastline is dotted with rainbow-colored umbrellas (which can be rented for the day). There aren't any on-site showers or restrooms, although you'll find a few restaurants and hotels across the street if you need to use the facilities. This beach can also be crowded at night, as locals flock to the coast for a bonfire or beach party (alcohol is allowed).
