About the beach
In the municipality of Procida, in the province of Naples (Campania), Chiaia is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: southeast (145°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N), keeps it calm; the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S) hits it from the sea and can raise waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
