Capo Vaticano on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria is consistently rated among the finest coastal headlands in Italy — crystal water in sheltered coves below the cape, with Stromboli, Vulcano and the Aeolian Islands on the horizon. The lighthouse at the tip is 19th century. Monk seal was recorded here in 2019. Dogs welcome on the coastal path.
