Spiaggia di Riaci, Tropea

Calabria

Spiaggia di Riaci north of Tropea is a small cove with a sea stack (faraglione) containing a natural arch — the arch frames the Aeolian Islands beyond. The sand is pale pink-white. The water is turquoise. Dogs welcome. The coast road above gives the full panoramic view of the arch. Less visited than Tropea main beach but more spectacular in scenery.
