A meeting with Calabria’s sea
Marina dell’Isola is the stretch of shore associated with Tropea’s best-known coastal view.
Its landmark is the rock crowned by the sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola.
It is in the municipality of Tropea, on the Costa degli Dei.
The old town above the coast makes it easy to plan a day combining beach and village sightseeing.
Use local signs to identify access routes and the spaces available along the shore.
Consider the journey between town and waterfront separately, particularly with a pushchair or luggage.
Check local parking and traffic arrangements before setting out.
A sunset photograph can round off the itinerary even if you are not spending the whole day swimming.
For bathing information, consult the relevant sampling area on Portale Acque and current municipal orders.
