A very popular summer tourist destination and prohibitive to reach in the summer period given the high influx of bathers, it is however a wonderful bay to visit in the low season, when the crystal clear water and the silence of nature takes over.

Torre dell'Alto can be reached either from the Sp 286 by taking the entrance to Portoselvaggio di Villa Tafuri and immediately turning left. After 300 meters of white road and crossing the puneta you will reach the tower. Or from the seafront of Santa Caterina reaching the last roundabout. From here you go up on mostly trekking routes suitable for expert bikers. This last route is currently closed due to the road being closed due to the risk of landslides
