Hidden in the heart of lush vegetation, Punta di Capo Perla lies in a tiny, fascinating cove in the heart of the Mediterranean bush, and just as the name suggests, the beach can be described as heaven on earth.
The majestic Spanish building known as Forte Focardo for centuries has always watched over it, making the cove characteristic and truly suggestive.
Capo Perla beach consists of tiny stones mixed with sand, and in some parts it is covered with dried posidonia washed up by the tide, giving the beach a somewhat wild and rugged appearance.
It is usually very quiet because most of the people who go there are either lovers of sports or are the owners of the nearby villas, so it is the ideal beach if you love peace and quiet or enjoy going snorkelling and underwater fishing.There are no facilities on the beach.
Go for a walk along the cliffs toswards the north and you will get to the walls of the turrets of Forte Focardo that seem to go as far down as the water's edge
The beach is sheltered from the south by Punta Nera and from the north by the Forte Focardo promontory, so this means that it only gets winds from the east.
How to get to Capo Perla beach
From Capoliveri follow the signs for Capo Perla, and after about 2 kilometres when you get to a junction, the main road goes towards Straccoligno and Calanova, while if you turn left you will head towards Capo Perla.
About 600 metres further along you will get to another junction, one road goes straight on while the other turns towards the left, and although both go downhill neither is signposted; at this point your best bet is to park your car at the side of the road.
Walk down the road on your left for about 100 metres then turn right into a road that shortly becomes nothing more than a grit road.
Go straight on and you will get to Forte Focardo; go down the stone steps on your right and you will get to Capo Perla beach. If you prefer you can also follow the path across the vegetation and you will get to the beach in a few minutes.
