There are two beaches at Mazzaforno: "Baia Sette Miri" and the main beach area. "Baia Sette Miri" is usually isolated and difficult to reach (ask me or my parents for detailed info). The second is easy to reach since you follow the main street in Mazzaforno till you arrive. You can see both beaches from the pool ;)
