Grotticelle Beach
Spiaggia di Grotticelle
Three small coves south of Capo Vaticano, with white sand, rocky outcrops, and clear water. One of the most popular beaches on the Coast of the Gods.
Grotticelle Beach lies on the east side of Capo Vaticano. It is made up of three small coves separated by granite rocks, with fine white sand and extremely clear water. You can snorkel and see fish right off the shore. The beach has a paid beach club with a small snack bar, and there are also free sections. The parking lot often fills up in summer, so aim to arrive before 9 a.m., or take a boat or water bus from Tropea. You can swim around the rocks to the neighboring small cove, but be careful when the waves are big.
