Part of a larger ‘rias’ coastal system – inlets formed by submerged river valleys – the beach is framed by seascapes that alternate high, rough granite rocks with a low, sandy coastline. Campionna is a 250-metre strip of very fine, snow-white sand, while the seabed alternates between sand, gravel, and rocks.

The crystal-clear water ranges from emerald green to turquoise blue. Beachgoers also enjoy a view of the islet of the same name, about 100 metres off the shoreline. It is large granite boulder that rises from the sea like a natural pyramid, festooned with cistus and mastic trees at the top.

Set against a backdrop of granite rocks and centuries-old junipers, maritime pines and myrtle plants, this is a wild and unspoilt beach where one can find colours and scents all year round, but no kiosks, umbrella hire, or refreshment facilities are available.
