Lazzaretto Beach
Spiaggia del Lazzaretto
A series of small sandy coves separated by rocky outcrops, with shallow clear water, views toward Capo Caccia, and a location next to Le Bombarde Beach.
Lazzaretto Beach takes its name from a former quarantine hospital (lazzaretto) nearby. It is made up of several small bays separated by rocks, with white sand and a seabed of rocks and seagrass where you can spot small fish while snorkelling. A 16th-century watchtower ruin stands on the beach. In summer there is paid parking and beach bars, and the BeachBus stops right here. It is quieter than Le Bombarde, which makes it a good choice for families with children.
