Perfect for lovers of free climbing

Cala delle Brache beach, in the mining area of the Ginevro mine, is along the Costa dei Gabbiani, between the other two beaches in the same area: Ginepro and Punta Bianca (Carbonaia).

Several rocks sticking out above the surface of the sea plus two tiny coves separate Cala delle Brache beach from Punta Bianca beach. Both these beaches are truly fascinating from an environmental point of view because they are home to several colonies of seagulls, hence the name of the coast. You can see them on the actual beaches and you might also see other birds, like shags, as they dive for fish.

Cala delle Brache beach consists partly of largish pebbles and dark coloured shingle and partly of the remains of the minerals that were once extracted there (especially on the right hand side of the beach).

The sound of the waves echoes along the cliffs behind the beach and this fascinating sound effect and this makes the beach unique. The cliffs along the coast go as far as Punta Bianca beach so you can see many lovers of free climbing who have decided to face the challenge of climbing up them.

Cala delle Brache beach is wild but very quiet so it is perfect for lovers of natural environments, and although it is near Ginevro mine you don't really get the impression you are so near what in the past was a mining area.

Be very careful because just a few steps off the shore and the water is already very deep. The beach faces the open sea so access by land can be somewhat difficult.

How to get to Cala delle Brache beach

It's better if you go there by sea. If you want to get there by land you need the permission of the Tenuta delle Ripalte and then from there follow a long path and continue on foot .
