About the beach
In the municipality of Crotone, in the province of Crotone (Calabria), Porticciolo is a rocky stretch of coast on the Ionian Sea.
Orientation: east (78°). 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. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
