Folacca Beach Guide |
Beach Description
The sea is shallow and sheltered, so is ideal for children to swim in. The rocky islands of Cerbicales are 200 m offshore, and there is a lagoon behind the beach.Access is down a fairly steep path than winds its way through the shrub-land (approximately 5 minutes' walk).
