About the beach
Villaggio del Golfo beach, within Nocera Terinese (the province of Catanzaro, Calabria), is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
“Villaggio del Golfo beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
The beach faces west (259°). It is most sheltered when the Levante (E) or Gregale (NE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW) 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).
