About the beach
In the municipality of Maratea, in the province of Potenza (Basilicata), Spiaggia dei Crivi is a beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: south (193°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE), keeps it calm; the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) hits it from the sea and can raise waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
