Sorry, I don't have any beach or underwater pictures for you. You will have to look at the tourist brochures instead.
On Saturday afternoon we swam and sunned on the sandy beach at Campese. It was pretty, but without a whole lot to look at in the water itself. It was wonderful for families with small children, because between the sand and the calm Mediterranean seas it wasn't too challenging.
While we were returning from Capel Rosso early Sunday afternoon, I spotted people playing on a tongue of rock towards the other end of town, and resolved to check that out later. It turned out to be about the same distance from our rental house, just in the other direction.
And the water was gorgeous. Absolutely clear. In 25 feet of water you could see the features and fish clear to the bottom. It was very much like swimming in an aquarium. Being from the east coast of the United States, I've never experienced anything like that before.
I saw thousands of fish just hanging out in the water column, like leaves fluttering to the ground in the autumn. Other fish quietly poking around in the rocks for food. Sea urchins! And of course scuba divers.
The whole time on the island, in the water and out, was unhurried relaxation.
