Beach overall scores
Vranne beach (Potenza) is located outside the Santa Caterina settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Vranne beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This beach is like a slice of heaven on earth! It's a stunning and unspoiled spot in Italy, with the only downside being the occasional rude boaters who think they own the place and dock their vessels on the sand. But the best part? It's completely free to the public!"
Chirico Gioacchinelli
"The top beach of 2016 is definitely worth a visit, especially since it's free to the public. Don't expect any commercial establishments, but you'll find plenty of fellow beach-goers, peaceful surroundings, crystal-clear water, and a chance to unwind."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Vranne beach (Potenza) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Vranne beach (Potenza) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Vranne beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
