A very clean and friendly beach, with beautiful attractions available close-by.
I was there in June 2012 with my boyfriend and two Italian friends. We parked the car and strolled down the big hill to the Vignanotica beach, but shuttle bus is also available for those who prefer, as the walk is a bit steep (but gorgeous!).
Michele, the host in Vignanotica beach, is a very friendly and happy chap, he was eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We enjoyed a bottle of cold rosé, very refreshing in the hot weather, and later a plate of pane e pomodori, a typical Italian dish. Tasty.
We rented a pedal boat and headed out to the grottos, the caves. There are at least three named ones, di Colorati (of colours), di Serpente (of the serpent) and then a third one I can't remember at the moment but something like a tower, as the inside of the cave is as high as a clock tower. All three caves were stunning!
In all it was a lovely day at Vignanotica Beach. I would highly recommend going there, especially in June and September when the local crowds are not so big. So refreshing to be at a beach that has not been spoilt by "English" tourism!! :) I will be back to Vignanotica, for sure.
