Villaggio le Roccelle beach (Catanzaro) is located outside the Villaggio le Roccelle 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Villaggio le Roccelle beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"A nice campsite with flat pitches right by the beach. The owners are friendly and will help you find the right pitch for you. There is an excellent little supermarket with fresh bread and all the basics you would need. Fresh croissants can be ordered from the bar for the following morning."

Los Rios

"Really nice campsite, great beach, friendly staff - family run type of business. We stayed here 3 days in low season and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere with only few other visitors. Clean toilets, spacious hot showers. Restaurant provides home made meals, especially fresh fish were delicious. Good electricity installation and all pitches provide shadow either from trees or fro..."
