A meeting with Calabria’s sea
Locri’s waterfront faces the Ionian Sea in Reggio Calabria province.
The beach is a stop on the Riviera dei Gelsomini, in an area with a Magna Graecia heritage.
Nearby Locri Epizefiri Archaeological Park makes it possible to combine sea and history.
The ancient site is not a beach access point and needs a separate destination in your itinerary.
The modern town offers an urban setting different from isolated coves.
Choose a precise seafront section and check local signs before settling down.
For a managed beach, make sure its name, position and operating period match your visit.
Do not assume accessibility without information about the route from road to water.
A cultural stop at a suitable time can bring variety to a day on the coast.
Check local orders and the relevant sampling-point data before swimming.
