The western coast is dominated by the majestic Monte Capanne massif, which extends towards the sea, creating small coves of sand and gravel, some of which are only accessible by boat.
The village of Pomonte boasts three beaches facing west. The Scalette beach, situated in front of the village, is pleasantly breezy and features smooth rocks at the sides, with incredibly clear water.
A cluster of other beaches lies to the left of Pomonte (Quartiere, Ogliera), reachable via a wooden footbridge. Quartiere beach (also known as Punto Blu) offers both free and serviced areas, with amenities such as a bar, beach equipment rental, and toilets. From here, you can reach Ogliera beach, which is entirely free and wilder.
What makes Pomonte particularly famous is the wreck of the Elviscot, a boat that sank in the 1970s. Situated just metres from Quartiere beach and resting on a 16-metre seabed next to the Ogliera rock, this wreck is a must-see not only for diving enthusiasts but also for those who enjoy snorkelling with a mask and fins.
The granite cliffAnother highlight worth mentioning is the impressive granite cliff that plunges into the sea just to the right of the village. To reach it, follow a path through the rocks that starts after the Calello square. Cliff enthusiasts and diving aficionados will find this spot truly rewarding..
The sandy beachesJust a few kilometres from Pomonte the three stunning beaches of Fetovaia, Cavoli, and Seccheto are renowned for their granite sand, prime location, and pleasant off-season climate.
