Cala Tramontana & Cala Levante
Cala Tramontana / Cala Levante
Two neighbouring coves on the east coast, with lava platforms and sunbathing terraces for easy entry into the water. The sea is clear, and the Elephant's Arch is nearby.
Cala Tramontana and Cala Levante lie below Tracino on the east coast, separated by a headland. The shoreline consists of flat lava platforms and man-made sunbathing terraces. Spread out a towel, and you can descend the steps into the sea, which is clear and rich in fish, ideal for snorkelling. Cala Levante has a small fishing harbour and the Faraglione sea stacks, and it's a short walk south to the Elephant's Arch. Summer weekends are busy, and there are a few bars and restaurants nearby.
