Description

Cala delle Caldane, also known as Caldane Beach, is located on the southeastern side of Giglio Island. It is a very private anchorage with a small portion of fine, light-colored, coarse-grained sand that can only be reached by sea or by a nearly 40-minute walk through an adventurous, uneven path through the vegetation overlooking the sea.

Around the anchorage, lovers of solitude will enjoy a succession of coves and creeks with rocks sloping down to the sea. This is a cove with wild and very private features that, evidently, is often uncrowded, in which a spectacular sea dominates from turquoise and emerald tones, crystal clear and transparent, with sloping sandy bottoms rich in posidonia, ideal for swimming and snorkeling lovers.

So during the busiest tourist periods this beach, thanks to its difficulty in reaching it, always gives a bit of tranquility and a breathtaking landscape with flourishing nature and behind it the mountains that rise to the highest peaks present on the island of Giglio.

Those who decide to venture on the small path south through the few villas in the Mediterranean scrub, will reach after a few meters a stepped cliff on the sea where one can easily descend to swim and is especially recommended for those with dogs in tow who cannot transit the beaches.

A few minutes’ walk further are the Acque del Prete rocks, a special, wild and particularly peaceful place, so named for the natural pool of green water set in front of a granite leach where the port priest used to bathe. Precisely because of the uniqueness of this beach whose absolute tranquility evokes faraway places, there are purposely no bars, restaurants or kiosks on site except for a rental service of sunbeds, umbrellas, pedal boat rentals and canoe rentals.

There is lifeguard assistance and lifeguard for rescue and the free beach is still available to all. So to spend a day at the Caldane, it is necessary it is good to leave equipped with provisions and water although since it is connected by a path to the adjacent Cannelle cove in a twenty-minute walk it is possible to refuel at the bar.

In 2013, the Ministry of the Environment included Cala delle Caldane among the 17 most beautiful beaches in Italy, giving important recognition to what has only ever been considered a small island beach.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
