Not many places on the Mediterranean can boast such fantastic sandy beaches and rocky coastline as Calabria – nor a sea so alluring and crystal clear.
No matter where in Calabria you stay there will always be first class opportunities for a laid-back beach holiday whether you prefer swimming from rocks or from a superb sandy beach.
In addition there are several smaller beaches almost inaccessible by foot but once there you are almost guaranteed to have the beach to yourself.
Some of the most popular sandy beaches and rocky coves in Calabria are Santa Maria dell'Isola in Tropea, Scoglio dell'Ulivo in Palmi, Pietra Grande by Catanzaro, Copanello by Catanzaro, San Nicola Arcella and Costa di Cetraro by Cosenza, Isola di Capo Rizzuto by Crotone and Capo Vaticano.
