The southern beach

It’s been decades that the southern beach represents a place where tourists and visitors go to enjoy a beautiful and welcoming sea. The characteristics are:

An extension of four kilometres from La Caletta till Santa Lucia, known for its camping place.
Easy to reach from every part: it is in fact very close to La Caletta.
A large beach with fine sand all along; kids will enjoy building up castles!
Level of water is quite low (and very low in some areas) for a long distance from the riverside; ideal for kids and aged people (and those who can not swim!).
Water is uncontaminated and limpid (except when in motion).
A close pinewood for a long distance and a bar reachable from the beach.
Little fishes.
Some red rocks located in St. Lucia.

You can see a multicoloured sea.
A pinewood all along the beach for a long distance.

The tower beach

Located among the rocks of the opposite side of the northern beach, this beach is quite different from the others. It is actually shorter, however its sand is similar to the other two. Like the others, it has a pinewood in proportion to its dimension. Here are the characteristics

An extension of 200 metres or so.
Easy to reach.
Fine sand.
Level of water grows proportionally to the distance towards the open sea, so it is deeper than the other two.
Water is uncontaminated and limpid (except when in motion).
A close pinewood for a distance proportionally to the beach.
Little fishes.
Some red rocks.

You will find a little old chapel very close to the beach (see picture) where the mass is occasionally celebrated outside.

At the opposite side of the beach stands an aragonese tower (see picture) from the XVI century, a period in which it was necessary to secure a strategic point of observation against casual enemies or invasions...

All three pictures "pinewood little beach", "little beach 1" e " little beach 2" have been taken from the same position but from a different edge in order to give a panoramic point of view at first sight.
