About the beach
In the municipality of Centola, in the province of Salerno (Campania), Spiaggia Ficocella degli uomini is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: west (289°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE), keeps it calm; the Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) hits it from the sea and can raise waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
