The basics

Though you can visit the Benedictine abbey on the beach, the biggest draw here is the bay itself, a popular stop on private boat tours along the coast. Explore the beautiful interiors of the abbey complex, including the church, crypt, and gardens, and then relax at the beach for the afternoon, enjoying views of the wooded cliffs, 11th-century Nolare Tower, and turquoise water.

How to get there
