Spiaggia di Barabarca or Barabarca beach is a 200 metre long pristine bay in a natural environment with clean emerald green water and white pebbles and sand. It is considered one of the most beautiful coves in Golfo Stella.
Great for children and perfect for swimming and snorkeling, you can even swim to the next bay. The rocks to the right are popular among nudists. The beach sits in a bay so it is very sheltered from most winds that usually blow across the island.
