About La Caletta
La Caletta was a fishing village until its small gulf was turned into a tourist harbour in the 1970s, since renewed and enlarged. The port now has sailing, surfing and diving schools and runs boat trips. It sits in the territory of Siniscola, with roughly a thousand people living here year-round and many times that in summer. The big beach is known locally as the spiaggia grande: soft golden sand, shallow at the shore, backed by pines. There are car and bike rentals, restaurants, pizzerias and clubs. The homes lie around the village over a few kilometres. Most have a garden, hardly any have a pool, and they are mostly small, with a few built for large groups.
Is La Caletta right for you?
- Best for

When to go to La Caletta
The shoreline is often windy, which suits kitesurfing and windsurfing but not everyone on a towel. In summer the population jumps from roughly a thousand to more than ten thousand, so August is busy. Outside the season the village depends on tourism and quietens a lot, so check which restaurants and rentals are open before an off-season stay.
