San Nicola Arcella

Located on a steep cliff at 110 meters elevation, San Nicola Arcella extends along the Tyrrhenian coast with views over the Gulf of Policastro.

The town features a coastal watchtower where American author Francis Marion Crawford established his residence during the late nineteenth century.

Local festivals throughout the year celebrate regional traditions through musical performances, religious ceremonies, and food preparations featuring Calabrian specialties.

The town maintains several public parking areas near the beach access points, with clear signage directing visitors to the main attractions.

The Arco Magno, a natural stone arch formation along the coastline, creates a secluded cove accessible by boat or through a coastal path.
