Spiaggia Libera Praia a Mare

Physical

A free public beach with pale sand on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, facing the uninhabited Isola di Dino just offshore, known for its sea caves.

Social

Used mainly by local residents and regional visitors, with no beach concessions organizing the space. People choose their own spot directly on the open sand.

Context

This stretch of coast has remained one of the few in the area to stay outside the system of paid beach concessions common along much of the Italian coastline.

Environment

Coastal erosion documented along this stretch of the Calabrian coast.
