Capo Vaticano

The beaches of Capo Vaticano are among the most beautiful in the Calabrian Tyrrhenian Sea, along the renowned Costa degli Dei. Capo Vaticano, a seaside resort in the municipality of Ricadi, in the province of Vibo Valentia, is particularly appreciated for its fine, white sand, for its crystal-clear sea bed, to be discovered by diving, and for the breathtaking views from the cliffs and the Capo Vaticano lighthouse.

The most famous bay of Capo Vaticano is Grotticelle, a stretch of sea referred to as the ‘’Calabrian Caribbean‘’ because of its natural pools and the turquoise colour on the seabed.

The ‘’Praia i focu‘’ beach is a strip of sand surrounded by three cliffs; to enjoy its beauty, it must be reached by boat. Caribbean colours are also to be found at Riaci Bay, Tono beach and Porticello beach.

Don't miss a visit to the watchtower and the Sea Museum, a rich collection of fossils and shells.
