Camping Casa Dei Prati

Around here, you're never too far from a beach or four. Lacona bay, overlooking the island of Montecristo, is framed by the small cove-filled promontory of Punta Contessa to the left and the Cape Fonza headland to the right. The closest beach to Camping Casa Dei Prati is Lacona beach, which stretches across more than a kilometre and is covered in soft golden sand that slopes gently out to sea, providing safe shallow waters for kids to splash around in. While the length of the beach has its quieter areas, it's also well served by bars, pizzerias and restaurants, and you can rent yourself watersports equipment while you're there, including sailboats, motorboats and windsurfs. Several diving centres are on Lacona and beyond, some of which offer guided excursions around the seabed's submerged habitats. Also within easy reach are the beaches of Margidore, overlooking Capoliveri village and characterised by its black sandy gravel, and Acquarilli, famed for its crystalline waters and spectacular backdrop. Other beaches and creeks around the Capo Stella peninsula can be reached by boat.
