Magnificent black-sand beach at the base of a very steep trail down the cliff through beautiful forest. Bring water! You will need it. How hard is it to get to? There are about 650 irregular “steps” cut into and built out of the dirt and sometimes it is slow and slightly scary going. If anyone in your party is not in good shape or afraid of heights you might want to let them sit it out. But dozens of fit young people bounded past us, in both directions, so if you’re one of those it’s fine. In any case, if you go slow enough you will be fine – it would be very hard to actually fall a long way. On the other hand, while we were on the beach a woman came down limping badly, having apparently fallen and maybe twisted an ankle. A first aid boat was summoned and she swam out to it and left that way rather than having to climb back up. How crowded? At 4pm on a sunny Thursday in late July the beach was moderately crowded but not jam packed. It is a pretty small beach, maybe 100 meters from one end to the other (beautiful rock walls at either end) and only maybe 40 meters from waterline to cliff, so with a couple of hundred people on it it looks well used.

Il tratto di mare interessato dal Santuario è una porzione del Mediterraneo estremamente ricca di vita pelagica, e senz'altro la più importante dell'intero bacino per via delle popolazioni di cetacei che ospita.Dall'estate del 1988 l'Istituto Tethys inizia una serie di ricerche sui cetacei nei mari italiani, e in particolar modo nel bacino Corso-Liguro-Provenzale, da cui appare chiaramente, in termini di frequenza di avvistamento, la netta superiorità di quest'ultima regione sui restanti mari d'Italia. Nel 1992 viene effettuato un censimento sulla superficie del futuro Santuario da parte dell'Istituto Tethys, da Greenpeace e dall'Università di Barcellona, che consente la stima numerica delle stenelle (32.800 esemplari) e delle balenottere comuni (830 esemplari) presenti nella zona nel periodo estivo.

Established in 1867, the museum complex is known throughout the global scientific community for its four million specimens from all over the world. Its collections of high scientific value are primarily zoological, but also include plants, minerals, rocks and fossils. Deserving of a special mention are the ornithological collection, the collection of mammals, the rich collections of insects and the room dedicated to palaeontology.
