The musical beach

Cala Violina takes its name from the sound of its sand. The characteristic name is due to the sound similar to the one of the musical instrument produced by the pure quartz grains of the beach at the contact with the visitors’ feet. An amazing beach wedged between two promontory with their turquoise transparent waters and scenic beauty.
