Figarolo Island

Figarolo Island lies just offshore from Golfo Aranci, in a central position within the bay and close to the surrounding beaches. It is a small island characterized by rocky profiles and Mediterranean vegetation covering much of its surface, with light-colored rock emerging along the coastline.

The sea surrounding Figarolo is known for its clarity and mixed sandy and rocky seabeds that display varying shades depending on light and depth. On calm days, the water appears especially transparent, with reflections highlighting the shape of the seabed. The low cliffs and small inlets create interesting spots for swimming breaks or simple snorkeling along the coast.

From a landscape perspective, Figarolo forms part of a wider setting that includes Capo Figari and the entire arc of Golfo Aranci. From the sea, the relationship between the island and the coastline becomes clear, with the mountain of Capo Figari rising in the background and sandy beaches alternating with rocky stretches.

Reaching Figarolo by dinghy is one of the most natural routes when departing from Golfo Aranci. In just a few minutes of navigation, you move from the more urban beaches of the gulf to a more open and wild environment. Including the island in a dinghy tour means adding a bright and panoramic stop, ideal for a swim in clear waters before continuing toward Cala Moresca or along the coast of Capo Figari.
