About the beach
In the municipality of Isola di Capo Rizzuto, in the province of Crotone (Calabria), Meolo is a sandy beach on the Ionian Sea.
Orientation: east (81°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW), keeps it calm; the Levante (E) or Gregale (NE) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated good by the EEA (2025 season).
