A charming tuffaceous cove located in Bacoli, it is the Schiacchetiello Beach which is located just across the street from theIslet of Punta Pennata. These places are all waiting to be discovered and are within reach of anyone looking for a bit of tranquility. They are located in the marine reserve of the Campi Flegrei Regional Park.
The beautiful beach, with calm and clear waters, offers a perfect place to relax by sunbathing or having a snack by the sea. The charming cove consists of a small sand and pebble beach and a tufa solarium. It is a natural beach. On a part of the tuff coastline, for the more romantic we point out a quaint little restaurant, facing the sea. The waters are shallow and protected from currents so it is also possible to reach the beach on small boats. To fully enjoy the beauty of this place, however, do not forget to bring a mask and snorkel.
Among the waters of Schiacchetiello beach, a variety of both reef and sand fish live, thanks to the favorable environment given by a mixed seabed. Special guest, however, is the Pinna nobilis, which has become rare elsewhere. This large Mediterranean bivalve is on the verge of extinction and its collection is absolutely forbidden.
Posidonia meadows provide shelter and food for fish that come to lay their eggs here.
For a long time the Schiacchetiello Beach was known only to local residents, due to the limited size of the beach and the lack of equipped lidos. Its characteristics ensured that this little corner of paradise, remained rich in marine biodiversity. On the Islet of Punta Pennata, on the other hand, there is thick Mediterranean scrub where seagulls nest undisturbed.
Both bathing and snorkeling are allowed but there are restrictions regarding fishing. Categorically prohibited is, above all, the harvesting of Pinna nobilis.
Its name appears among the writings of Emperor Constantine, dating from the 4th century A.D. It appears that the island was a residential complex as evidenced not only by its proximity to the villa of Lucullus, but also by several other findings. These include the remains of cocciopesto floors, walls of opus reticulatum, brickwork and vittata, and numerous fragments of sculptures, some of which are preserved in the National Museum. Others believe it was the headquarters of the "praetorium misenate" legions of the ancient military fleet.
The islet is traversed by two tunnels called "Coral Cave" and "Nero's Cave." They had the function of draining the waters to prevent the silting up of the relative harbor.
The islet was formed after a violent storm surge on November 4, 1966. The waters during this event carried away the tongue of land that connected today's islet to the mainland, making it the pristine little nook it is today.
