Michelino Beach
Spiaggia di Michelino
A cliffside beach in Parghelia, north of Tropea, reached by a long flight of steps. Clear water and few visitors.
Michelino Beach is in Parghelia, north of Tropea. Tucked beneath the cliffs, it is reached by about 200 steps down to the sea, so it is far less crowded than the beaches in town. The sand is fine and white, the water is clear blue-green, and rocks on either side are good for snorkeling. Nearby is a natural rock arch. In summer, basic beach facilities rent umbrellas. The steps are steep, and the climb back is tiring, so bring plenty of water. It is about a 5 to 10-minute drive from Tropea.
