Riaci Beach
Spiaggia di Riaci
A small granite-rock cove south of Tropea, with clear water, and sunsets over Stromboli visible in the evening.
Riaci Beach is about 3 km south of Tropea, in the town of Ricadi. White sand is dotted with oddly shaped granite boulders, and the clear water is good for snorkeling. The beach faces west, so in the evening the sun sets toward the volcano of Stromboli, a moving sight. There is a paid beach club, a beach bar, and free areas, and it is less crowded than the beaches in town. It is about a 10-minute drive or bike ride from Tropea, and parking is charged in summer.
