The most beautiful beaches of the Lavezzi islands

• Achiarina beach. Another crescent shaped sand beach, which often becomes very narrow (in some places, even a couple of meters). Very sheltered, the small bay is surrounded by large boulders.
• Cala di Greco. Also of sand, it is a little deeper but less wide and a little less wild than the others. However, it remains beautiful.
• Cala Lazzarina. According to many visitors and several locals, this is, by far, the most beautiful beach in the archipelago. About ten meters deep, quite wide, there is a boulder by the sea from which you can dive: a very scenic beach.
• Cala di Ghiuncu. To the left of Cala Lazzarina, there is another beach, very similar but a little smaller, which not all tourists notice and, for this reason, it is even more special: Cala di Ghiuncu.
