NOVO SANCTI PETRI

After the old town was abandoned in the 1970s, the land was looked after by the military. Today it is slowly being redeveloped as a leisure and watersports area. The old highway down the centre of the land is abandoned now, but its former importance can be seen from the lines of tall mature palm trees.

Now a one-way traffic system runs around the outside of the peninsula, providing access to the restaurants, cafes and bars, as well as well as the fishing jetties. The Club Nautico occupies an old rustic blue building, while the new port and marina facilities offer an impressive example of recent investment.
