Faraglioni di Torre Sant'Andrea
Torre Sant'Andrea
White limestone sea stacks and natural arches along the Adriatic, with deep blue water. It is a popular spot for sunrise photography and cliff diving.
Torre Sant'Andrea is a small fishing village about 2 km south of Torre dell'Orso. The coast has been eroded into a series of white limestone sea stacks, natural arches and small caves. They contrast sharply with the deep blue sea and are especially dramatic at sunrise. Walking the rocky trail along the shore, you can photograph the stacks from different angles. Young people often dive off the rocks, but depth and wave conditions must be assessed first. There is no large sandy beach, and swimmers usually enter the water from the rocks, so wading shoes are recommended. The village has a small harbour and a few seafood restaurants, and it can be combined with Torre dell'Orso and the Grotta della Poesia as a coastal walk.
