The free beach of Lu Culacchiu is located at the entrance to Porto Cesareo coming from Sant"Isidoro. I do not know the etymology of the term, from a brief search the name would refer either to the hind end of some animal or, by extension, the end of a salami or the bottom of a bottle, or even a rambling and far-fetched tale. Name aside, the beach is of fine sand mixed with the presence of the ever-present rushes, but no less relaxing and attractive for that... guarding the beach stands tall the now disused ancient lighthouse of Porto Cesareo. The sea is quite shallow and clean only in some places are flat, low rocks, ideal however for families with children as the water remains constantly shallow. A popular destination for locals living in the vicinity for its convenience of being reached on foot, a practice that is not exactly legal is the permanent presence, even at night, of beach umbrellas and markers aimed at reserving a portion of the beach during crowded hours. As refreshment facilities behind the beach there is a supermarket with an adjoining bar for your needs. Worth a visit!
