Tropea Beaches & Water Sports
The beach below the cliff is the picture everybody has seen: white sand, water in three shades of blue and the rock of Santa Maria dell'Isola at one end. Beyond it lie Rotonda, Michelino and the coves under Capo Vaticano, and above all of it parasailing flights that put the whole coastline in one frame.

What is the best beach in Tropea?
The main town beach, Spiaggia della Rotonda, sits directly beneath the old town with the sanctuary rock at one end and is regularly voted among the best in Italy. For quieter sand, Grotticelle and Praia i Focu under Capo Vaticano are twenty minutes south.
How much is parasailing in Tropea?
Around €140 for a double flight in a small group, which puts two of you up together over the bay for roughly ten to fifteen minutes with the boat run included.
When is the sea warm enough to swim in Tropea?
From June to early October, peaking in August and September when the water reaches 25–27°C. May is swimmable for the brave; by November the beach clubs have gone.
