West of the bay, there are remains of an old construction which obviously pre- existed the jetty found there today.

Fontana Amorosa is a beautiful area and the refuge, in recent historical times, of ships which either sought protection in the cove or a supply of fresh water. Currently, it is an ideal place for swimming. Tradition has Aphrodite taking her baths in this place. Ariosto describes the place with some lovely verses: "Nowhere else in the world have I seen women and virgins so lovely and attractive". The water of the well lies a few metres below the surface, though during historical times the water table might have been higher and closer to the surface. If the visitor continues his journey northwards a broken ship will be encountered, stationed for decades in a cove.
