"Spend the entire day on the beach. Little rocky beaches dot the coastline, and the most memorable one to me was Lama Monachile. You set your towel down on a rock, and dive into water that’s shades of blue and green I don’t even know how to describe."

We spent the day at a beautiful beach framed by rugged cliffs and crystal-clear blue water. The sea was perfect for swimming, with cool grottos and caves to explore beneath the cliffs. We even found a quiet spot on the rocks where we could read, relax, and dive in for a refreshing swim. Later, we wandered back to the beach and enjoyed a cold beer and an Aperol spritz as the sun dipped lower over the water — the perfect end to a perfect day.

An iconic beach that commands a photo..or two..or three. Very rocky. Not crowded. Even though it was early November I had to have a swim. Water is cool but not cold. Clear. I can see fish around me. And also a surprise. An octopus just metres from the waters edge. Grabbed my phone and managed to capture it briefly. Great experience!

Lama Monachile is one of those places that just takes your breath away the moment you see it. It feels iconic because it truly is—there’s nowhere else quite like it. Spending the day here is something special: swimming in the clear blue water, looking up at the cliffs, and just soaking in the beauty all around. The beach is very rocky, so bring good beach shoes, and if you can, a little float makes the swimming even more fun and relaxing. There are even a few small cliff jumps for the adventurous, but always with safety in mind. It’s not just a beach—it’s an experience you’ll remember.

Beautiful rocky beach with crystal-clear water and a relaxing atmosphere. It’s very rocky, so not the most comfortable for long stays, but perfect for a short visit. About 1–2 hours is enough to enjoy it.

Beautiful beach, water is absolutely stunning!! However it gets VERY BUSY in summer, and I'm sure the earlier you get there the better to find a spot. Also bring water shoes because it's a rock beach and slippery near the water.

Excellent experience checking out this beach today. It is truly stunning and beautiful! As many others have said, make sure to bring your water shoes or sandals as the rocks hurt your feet.

Amazing views of a unique to the eye beach. The truth is that it looks way better looking at it than swimming in it, because of the tourist hordes. A must SEE from all possible corners place.

Busy, rough and exciting, at the same time. Spent a few days, so we saw from smooth to really rough sea. Doesn't matter, the beach is beautiful to look at from the top. That said, if you want to venture going in instead, try to arrive really early. Arriving late can also work, but at least in July, the sun is gone by then

Sometimes, the best surprises come when you're expecting the least. I was prepared for a rainy, less-than-ideal visit, but the experience turned out to be anything but disappointing. Despite the weather, Lama Monachile's beauty shone through. In fact, the rain worked in our favor, keeping the crowds away and letting us soak in the stunning views in peaceful solitude. It was a lovely and unexpectedly serene moment that made the trip all the more memorable. Saluti

Awesome little cove especially at night where you can still see crowds until at least midnight. We saw a live concert the night we were there.

Ciao! Two american girls here on vacation. This beach has pebbles so bring a blanket if you plan to tan and lay out. And water-shoes! Simply gorgeous though. We had a wonderful time and the water is super clear. We visited a few months ago in June 2018 and the weather was perfecto!
