The beautiful little beach overlooks the crystal-clear sea next to the remains of the Porto Flavia mining complex, offering a spectacular view of the striking Pan di Zucchero sea stack, a 132-meter-high natural monument sculpted by time.

Hiking

From the bay in Mesua, the Pan di Zucchero, a 133m high rock protrudes from the water. A 10 minute boat trip to climb the Sugar Loaf on a via ferrata (Via Ferrata Zucchero) is offered with equipment.

Hiking

The majestic limestone monument rises like a sentinel from the deep blue Mediterranean. This imposing rocky spire off the southwest coast of Sardinia is a geological masterpiece, formed by millions of years of erosion. The 133-meter-high rock is a remnant of the Cretaceous period.
