Pan di Zucchero - Masua


Sent by Isabetta from Sardinia in Italy. It shows a Pan di Zucchero, a surfacing rock.

More info : Pan di Zucchero is a particularly interesting surfacing rock: detached from the Nai mountain, the large crag is 133 meters high and has two natural arches, one of which is navigable with a small boat through a tunnel of evocative sensations.

The beach of Masua has sand mixed with gravel, with rocks dotted around, but especially near the water’s edge.
The beach is very wide and the area offers numerous facilities: it has a large car park, cafe, eating areas and has shallow waters, allowing children to freely play in them.

It is also a much loved spot for those just wanting to do some scuba fishing or simply by those wanting to dive in its waters, perhaps with a mask and flippers, to admire its underwater world rich in pleasant surprises.
