Steccato di Cutro Beach

A spectacular sea with iridescent colours ranging from emerald green to blue. Eight kilometres of soft, light-coloured sand. Steccato di Cutro, a coastal hamlet in the municipality of Cutro, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in Calabria. It is located on the Ionian coast, between Isola Capo Rizzuto and Botricello, just six kilometres from Le Castella.

Part of the coastline is part of the Special Area of Conservation for the protection of biodiversity, and the nesting of Caretta Caretta turtles has been reported on this beach. This means that you can witness a unique spectacle: the hatching of eggs on the beach and the wonderful race of newborn turtles towards the sea. What are people looking for when they go to Steccato di Cutro? Tranquillity, nature and an authentic connection with the territory. Thanks to its exposure and the winds coming from the south and west, it is one of the best places in the region for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Clear waters, wild nature and a timeless atmosphere: Steccato di Cutro is a paradise for those who love to spend hours in the sun, swimming or doing water sports.

Of course, there is no shortage of beach resorts and tourist villages, but the beach is almost entirely free and you can simply choose your destination, letting yourself be guided by the turquoise horizon of the sea or the eucalyptus forest overlooking the white sand. Carousels, playgrounds, discos, pubs and pizzerias near the beach make this tourist destination particularly popular with groups of young people and families with children.
