Cala dell'Allume is a heart-shaped cove located on the west coast of Isola del Giglio. The site features a rugged seabed defined by mineral-rich rocks from a former pyrite mine, creating numerous crevices and caves. Water temperatures range from 14C to 26C, with underwater springs occasionally creating cold spots. Access is available from both shore and boat. Due to the presence of sharp coral and potential for entanglement, this site is recommended for intermediate snorkellers. Species recorded around this area include wrasses, Mediterranean moray, European common cuttlefish, and various octopus species, though these are not confirmed sightings at this specific location.
