User reviews
"The beach near Tropea is both pleasant and untamed, with some cliffs that offer glimpses of Mediterranean fish, including small murenas. Paid parking is available on the street adjacent to the beach, but keep in mind that the beach is situated at a fairly high elevation, requiring a 5-10 minute descent and ascent."
Nikolai Ivanov.
"Absolutely breathtaking! The trek of over 200 steps to reach the beach is completely worth it. The crystal-clear blue and turquoise waters, the powdery white sand, and the radiant sun make for a top-notch experience."
