The access to the sea at Punta Gattara is located about 500 meters northwest of the Cala Cinque Denti bay (approximately 36.789° N, 11.958° E). The unpaved parking area, with space for about 8–10 vehicles, is located along the coastal road. From there, a dirt path about 50 meters long begins, carved between basalt blocks, with an average gradient of 18%, leading to a smooth rocky platform 1–1.5 meters high. The uninterrupted cliff allows for direct access to the sea, where the seabed quickly drops to a depth of 4–5 meters within the first 10 meters from the shore. Non-slip footwear is therefore recommended, and caution is advised when jumping into open water.
