Rocce Rossi (Red Rocks)

Location: Arbatax 

Rising triumphantly out of the sea, this triangular red brute is the geologic celebrity of Arbatax!

How to get there:
Arbatax is like an extension to Tortoli and is well signposted. Turn into Tortoli town and continue through the centre on the main road until arriving in Arbatax, continue over the railway line, past the shops and bars until reaching the entrance to the port. Turn right opposite the station for the Little Green Train and enter the carpark behind the petrol station. The rocks will be unmissable.


Description:
Shaped by millenia of oceanic chiselling, this natural red hulk has a curious square tunnel running through it. Plenty of photo opportunities around the rocks and the possibility to go swimming on the calmer days. Personally, it is best viewed when the sea is rough and dramatic and is smashing into it.
