Spiaggia della Rotonda (Spiaggia delle Roccette)

The beach is beautiful, whole place has a spirit, but be prepared for crowds (definitely the case in Ferragosto) and greedy bar owners occupying the most of the beach with their overpriced sunbeds (they don't respect any rules and they leave not even a meter of the send without a sunbed), there are just a few public places.

Nice - but overcrowded We stayed in Nicotera not too far away and came here for a daytrip. We didn't stay that long in the end - simply because it was too crowded. But it is indeed a beautiful beach with stunning colors. Colors you might expect to see in the Caribbean. From the blue blue to azure and turquoise. Both the beach itself and the water are spotless clean. Too bad you won't see much of the sand due to the number of visitors. There are private sections where you can bring your own umbrella and chairs and some bars/resorts where you can rent some. Some locals even brought their dogs, which I think was nice, but officially it's not legal. The beach is stunning by itself, but backed with the amazing Santuario di Santa Maria dell'Isola it's a really unique sight that has to be seen if you are in Tropea or anywhere close. A real stunner! Parking is a bit of a problem if you hit high season. There's street parking and a big parking lot nearby (some blue zones even and the fee for the parking lot is fair). It's best just to wait in your car instead of driving around. There are always some people leaving, just be patient. As fun and as beautiful this beach is/was, we didn't stay long...cause of the immense crowd. We soon headed back to our beloved Nicotera Marina. The water there is as clean as it is here. The beach is wider and clean as well. Ok, the water doesn't have the same amazing caribbean colors, but still nice and deep blue. And the best part about it: Only a handful of people....even in high season....I kid you not. Maybe I shouldn't have even mentioned it. 'cause it's still a bit of a secret. Two beach chairs and an umbrella set you back only 8 Euros....for the whole day.

Really beautiful. Enchanting the colors of the sea ...all the shades of blue, turquoise, green and velvet waters. Unique and unforgettable

Visited end of season, always a great beach. Often super busy in season and parking can be tough but so close to center of tropea, easy to wonder up to. Clean and Beautiful water. Not one to miss

Another gem in the Tropea area. The beach is divided by an amazing sandstone formation that above lies the ancient Church of Santa Maria. You are surrounded by the cliffs in which the town of Tropea is built and the buildings come right to the edge of the cliff. The main cave is huge and extends out into the back on the other side- it was blocked by a barricade warning that there was risk of collapse but it was evident that people simply walked around the end to get in. I saw many people sleeping on blankets to escape the hot Calabrian sun. The water is very clear and turquoise-coloured. Do not miss this experience is you are staying nearby or traveling through!

Crowded and only worthwhile if you have your own umbrella and chairs. Renting beds here is crazy expensive and not worth it. My tip: make some pictures on the tropea beach and head on over to lido Blanca beach, quieter, just as beautiful and you can rent beds at reasonable prices.

Very cozy beach. Perfect place for taking refreshing minutes in Tiren Sea. Water is clear and blue. There is coarse grain sand and some stones on beach. Very close (to the left into sea) is half cave with small beach inside. Water is shallow only for few first meters so children need to be supervised.

Small beautiful city with a wonderful historical center. This city is 500 years older than Rhys. The city is quiet and friendly! Next to the proud is a white clean turquoise beach. There is a minus: the administration of the city does not care about the restoration of old metal barriers on viewing platforms. Formed a dump on among the palm trees in the seaside square near the cliff! It is unacceptable! In general, the city is a great recommend for a holiday! You can return here. From the edge of the city a wonderful view of the sea and the beach.
