What to do at Palombaggia beach

Palombaggia beach is ideal for bathing as the water slopes gently, making it a perfect place for children to safely enjoy themselves.

Besides the beauty of the beach, holidaymakers can also take advantage of the restaurants and activities that can be undertaken nearby. In fact, right in the centre of the beach is the Club Nautique Palombaggia: you can rent equipment and practice kayaking, windsurfing, paddleboarding or hiking near the beach or at the Cerbicali Islands archipelago.

Otherwise, for the more adventurous and water sports enthusiasts, snorkelling is a rewarding activity that you can easily try in the area. Scuba diving to discover the seabed of the Cerbicali Islands nature reserve is a must. Or you can hire boats or jet skis to visit this stretch of coastline.

Land lovers, on the other hand, will have the opportunity to take long rides on mountain bikes or on horseback through the Mediterranean maquis surrounding the beach.

When to visit Palombaggia

The most popular period for tourists is from May to September. The summer season is ideal for refreshing baths and intense tanning sessions. It is therefore the time when Palombaggia beach is most populated.

Those, on the other hand, who prefer to enjoy these picture-postcard views in total solitude should choose the low season: from October to April, Palombaggia beach is decidedly quieter. The month of October is particularly recommended: the water temperatures are still warm enough for swimming and the sun is warm enough to enjoy the beach and the Mediterranean colours.
