User reviews
"The lido is a delightful spot to relish the Castro bay, especially on breezy days when the North and West winds transform it into a natural swimming pool. It's an affordable option, as you can get an umbrella with sunbeds for approximately €20. The only drawback is the lack of facilities for taking a proper shower with soap."
Nico Santoro.
"Castro is an enchanting town, and Lido La Sorgente is an ideal spot to bask in the sun and swim in the sea without breaking the bank, conveniently located in the center of Castro Marina."
