The free beach of Lu Culacchiu is located at the entrance to Porto Cesareo coming from Sant"Isidoro. I ignore 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 likewise 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...guarding the beach stands tall the now disused ancient lighthouse of Porto Cesareo. The sea is quite shallow and clean only in some places flat and shallow rocks surface, ideal however for families with children the water still maintains a constantly low height. A coveted destination for locals who live nearby precisely because of its convenience of being reached on foot, a not-so-legal practice turns out to be the permanent presence, even at night, of umbrellas and place markers aimed at reserving a portion of the beach during crowded hours of people. As refreshment facilities behind the beach there is a supermarket with an attached bar for your needs. Worth a visit!
