About the beach
Spiaggia del Bue, within Gioiosa Marea (the province of Messina, Sicily), is a beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces north (6°). It is most sheltered when the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
