About the beach
In the municipality of Isola di Capo Rizzuto, in the province of Crotone (Calabria), Spiaggia Grande is a beach on the Ionian Sea.
Orientation: southeast (134°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W), keeps it calm; the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E) hits it from the sea and can raise waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
