About the beach
Spiaggia di Valle d'Acqua, within Maratea (the province of Potenza, Basilicata), is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces southwest (246°). It is most sheltered when the Gregale (NE) or Levante (E) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
