A meeting with Calabria’s sea
Michelino is one of Parghelia’s coves on the Tyrrhenian coast of Vibo Valentia province.
Its correct municipality is Parghelia, although nearby Tropea is a familiar visitor landmark.
Fine sand lies within a landscape of small bays and cliffs.
The meeting of land and sea is central to the experience of this part of the Costa degli Dei.
Consider it if you enjoy observing coastal scenery with a mask and snorkel.
Before heading down, check the available route and whether it suits your mobility needs.
Pack so that carrying everything back to your starting point will be manageable.
Do not assume showers, shade or assistance are available simply because a town is nearby.
Parghelia is an appealing place to continue your day away from the shore.
Check current local orders and official water information before planning a swim.
