The beach, with its stunning red sand, can be accessed either through the village of Santa Cristina or by taking a boat from the sea.

The sea at this beach is truly fantastic, one of the best in Italy when it comes to sandy beaches, I must say. However, the staff there is not as good. The lifeguards can be quite rude, and it's unfortunate to see that they often target women and children, whom they perceive as weak (a stereotype that needs to be eliminated sooner or later, even here in Calabria).

I have been visiting Isola Capo Rizzuto for many years, and it is truly a remarkable destination with a breathtaking coastline. The sea there is absolutely magnificent!

This beach is absolutely amazing! It has beautiful red sand, lush vegetation, and even clay that can be used for skin treatment. Surprisingly, we can still enjoy swimming here even in late September. It truly feels like a paradise!
