Planning your visit to Porto Selvaggio
Rocky coves often have clear, deeper water that suits snorkelling, but the entry can be slippery. Wear water shoes, enter slowly and avoid swimming when there is a swell.
Access is rated challenging and involves a steep hike. Take plenty of water, start early and allow enough daylight for the walk back.
The usual season runs June–September. Visiting near the start or end of that window usually means fewer people, but the sea is cooler and some facilities may not be open yet or may have closed for the year.
