Acquasanta Beach

A small beach in the Astrakeri coastal area, suitable for visitors exploring the quieter north coast beyond the main resort beaches.

Acquasanta Beach has a natural shoreline. Local road and foot access from the Astrakeri area.

What to expect

The shoreline is predominantly sand. The sandy sections are comfortable for anyone planning to spend several hours on the beach. It is a compact beach, which gives it an intimate feel but means space can become limited at the busiest times of day.

Swimming and sea conditions

Entry to the sea is gradual and relatively shallow near the shoreline.

Who this beach suits

This beach is particularly well suited to a quieter beach day and swimming. Its quieter character is part of the appeal, particularly if you want to get away from the island's busier resort beaches.

Getting there and practical information

Local road and foot access from the Astrakeri area.

Planning your visit

If you are visiting in July or August, arriving earlier in the day usually gives you more choice of space at a compact beach like this.

Is it the right beach for you?

It is worth shortlisting if its combination of setting, access and swimming conditions matches the type of beach day you are looking for.

Why consider this beach

Because the bathing area is compact, this is a better choice for visitors who value atmosphere and a straightforward swim than for anyone looking for a huge expanse of sand with lots of room for games and activities. It is particularly worth considering if your priority is a quieter stop rather than a busy, highly organised resort beach. If you plan to stay for several hours, take the beach essentials you need with you rather than relying on a large resort-style range of services.
