If you’re looking for the perfect place for an unforgettable holiday, Praia a Mare is a well-known tourist center on the Riviera dei Cedri. It’s famous as the “City of Dino Island” and home to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Grotta, a popular destination with family-friendly beaches that have been awarded the Green Flag Beaches and the Blue Flag several times.
Praia a Mare offers plenty of holiday activities, whether on the beach, through excursions in the surrounding areas, or strolling through its enchanting historic center. As its name suggests, Praia a Mare is renowned for its beach, which overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s one of the finest spots on the Riviera dei Cedri. The beach, composed of gray sand and gravel sections, is spacious and reflected in clear waters—ideal for both swimmers and those who enjoy underwater excursions in the deep blue sea.
The seabed gradually slopes, and the most picturesque part of the beach is located to the north, facing Dino Island and bordering Fiuzzi Castle. Dino Island, almost a kilometer long and about 100 meters wide, is a major attraction. It can even be reached by swimming from the beach. Once there, visitors can explore its beautiful caves, including the Blue Grotto, Frontone Cave, and the Lion Cave. The island can also be reached more comfortably by boat.
At Praia a Mare Beach, in addition to swimming and sunbathing, visitors can enjoy a range of water sports and take advantage of the fully equipped beach facilities, complete with deckchairs and umbrellas. The city is home to various monuments, museums, and churches. Particularly notable is Fortino, the Fumarolo di Praia fort, which once served defensive purposes. Fiuzzi Tower and some World War II-era casemates also remain as historical reminders.
Praia a Mare’s historic center offers shopping opportunities, with clothing and footwear shops, as well as stores selling local crafts and traditional culinary products. During summer, there are plenty of nightlife options. Dining in the historic center ranges from high-end restaurants to charming trattorias serving traditional dishes.
This property is the perfect solution for a relaxing, peaceful, and rejuvenating holiday, offering an opportunity to discover the natural beauty and rich culture of the area. Its location makes it an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding area and the natural wonders of Calabria. For those seeking adventure, nearby paragliding offers an unforgettable experience.
