In fact, our buoy is situated very close to the coast so that you emerge into a shallow water and swim for a very short distance to reach the wonderful Cala dell’Amore beach. While swimming back to the boat all the sand stuck on your feet remains in water instead of being brought on board. It’s very important to preserve the nature and avoid the erosion.
