Marina di Policoro
Basilicata
This stretch of coast sits just south of the Bosco Pantano reserve, with fine sand shading from gold to grey near the river mouth. It's less built-up than the Metaponto beaches, with long unmanned sections favoured by locals and dog walkers. Cormorants and gulls gather in numbers where the Sinni river meets the sea.
