The Torre Squillace beach, also known as Li Scianuli, is a small tongue of sand adjacent to the ancient 16th-century tower of the same name. It is a free and uninhabited beach where the sand is quite coarse and full of pebbles, so that hanging out your towel may be a little uncomfortable for the more fussy. Entering the water, which is shallow at first and accessible to everyone, one immediately notices the natural presence of various sea pebbles and a poorly maintained seabed, but this does not prevent us from cooling off during a hot summer, just by putting on some rock shoes. Although of a fairly modest length, the beach is characterised by an inlet from which it is easy to reach the reef for a dip in the pristine blue waters where it is said that Lucio Battisti was inspired by this crystal-clear sea and wrote the song Acqua azzurra acqua chiara. Relaxation is assured the beach as well as the nearby cliff is usually frequented by locals who love tranquillity and privacy.
