This white marl cliff is characterized by its unique geological composition, featuring smooth, wavy rock formations shaped like a staircase. Its distinct white color and stepped appearance make it a significant geological landmark.

Historically, the site is associated with pirate raids. It has gained recognition through literature, specifically as the setting for the fictional town of Vigata in the Inspector Montalbano novels written by Andrea Camilleri.

The formation is designated as a Natura 2000 site and is classified as both a cape and a rocky cliff.
