Spiaggia della Sciabica, Mediterranean beach in San Giovanni a Piro, Italy
Spiaggia della Sciabica is a beach in San Giovanni a Piro featuring a mix of pebbles and rocks set against towering limestone cliffs along the Campanian coast. The seabed slopes gradually, with shallow areas near the shore that transition into deeper sections offshore.
This beach sits within the protected Costa degli Infreschi and Masseta Marine Area, established to safeguard the region's natural coastline. The protection reflects efforts to maintain the ecological character of this stretch of Campania.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in the waters near the beach, continuing practices passed down through generations.
Access to this beach requires taking a boat from Scario port, with service available throughout daylight hours. Solid swimming ability is recommended due to the rocky terrain and uneven seafloor that require caution when entering the water.
Natural rock formations create small pools at low tide, offering separate swimming areas away from the open sea. These tidal pools provide a sheltered swimming experience for visitors exploring the coastline during different times of day.
