The Marina:
beach and plane, sand and alluvium. Along
with some of the houses grouped together at Saint Antoine,
the marina is the absolute antithesis of the hamlets. Its
habitat ranges far and leads up to the hinterland; it is particular
in that it is not affected by the winter spate of the fiume
(the valley's river).
Although in full
development, the marina is rich with village history, even
if the traces of ancient invasions have almost disappeared.
Once you have enjoyed the beach and all its benefits, a trip
up to Castellare (30 minutes walk from
the beginning of the trail which starts next to the hotel
Macchia e Mare at the entry to Pietracorbara on the
coast road) is worth the walk, as is a promenade to the Vercetu
bridge built from rounded stones.
For nature lovers,
there is a small population of arboricole frogs and cistude
turtles in the humid area located between the beach and the
road (D 80 road). This humid area, although very fragile,
is currently threatened by tourism development.
