Beaches that are sheltered from the Ponente wind (West)

The Ponente wind (from the West) is very similar to the Libeccio one: it brings good weather because it blows all the clouds away. In spring and in autumn (when it is at its strongest), it can make surfing and windsurfing even more fun.

In summer, on the other hand, it is more like a gentle sea breeze.

Acquarilli Acquarilli is an enchanting beach, thanks to its black sand and shingle, and the steep cliffs around it.
