Beaches close to Pomonte

Pomonte has two beaches: the main beach of Pomonte located in front of the tourist resort, narrow and about 80 metres long, is characterized by gravels and hosts pittoresque boats that are particularly small and kept dry because of the strong exposure of the Libeccio Wind.

On the East side there is the greater beach of Ogliera (also known as Relitto di Pomonte beach), 300 metres long; at a short distance there is the wreck of the merchant ship Elviscot which lies 16 metres below the sea and is also visible with a mask from the surface.

Before getting to the beach you will see a small square used as car park. There are no slides for boat launching, neither structures or machinery for that.
