About the beach
Faro, within Corigliano-Rossano (the province of Cosenza, Calabria), is a sandy beach on the Ionian Sea.
The beach faces north (351°). It is most sheltered when the Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
