Spiaggia Nera, Maratea
Basilicata
The Spiaggia Nera takes its colour from crushed dark rock washed down by the Fiumicello stream, a band of near-black shingle and sand against green cliffs and clear water. A short path drops to it from the coast road; the Maratea "Riviera" runs on either side with more coves to explore.
