A meeting with Calabria’s sea
Santa Maria is the Cariati section listed by FEE for the 2026 Blue Flag.
The locality is on Cosenza province’s Ionian shore.
Beach time can be combined with the fortified village, which preserves walls and towers.
The waterfront and old town need separate destinations in your itinerary.
This part of the Costa degli Achei opens towards Cosenza’s northern Ionian coastline.
Identify the beach by its precise locality rather than using the harbour as a generic entrance.
Before choosing a beach club, verify the individual business’s position and contacts.
Official bathing information and local orders remain the reference for a visit to the sea.
