About the beach
Magliacane beach, within Belcastro (the province of Catanzaro, Calabria), is a sandy beach on the Ionian Sea.
“Magliacane beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
The beach faces south (165°). It is most sheltered when the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ostro (S) 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: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
