Carloforto

Carloforte is a lovely fishing and resort town on Saint Peter's Island in the Mediterranean. Carloforte boasts a long standing tradition of wooden boat building. The industry is being kept alive by the dedication and skill of local craftsmen. Visitors will find several boat chartering, diving, and tourist businesses, which can be found along Carloforte's waterfront. Gorgeous beaches, both rocky and sandy, line the coast of the island. Some of the cliff-top views are nothing short of spectacular. On the other side of the island from Carloforte is a functioning lighthouse, locally known simply as 'il faro' and whose structure dates back to the 1880s.
