About the beach
Marinella, within Isola di Capo Rizzuto (the province of Crotone, Calabria), is a sandy beach on the Ionian Sea.
The beach faces east (100°). It is most sheltered when the Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) 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: good (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
