Punta Alice, Coastal promontory in Cirò Marina, Italy
Punta Alice is a promontory on the Ionian coast that extends into the sea with fine sand beaches, gravel shores, and Mediterranean vegetation along its edge. The location provides multiple access points to the water and combines natural formations with facilities for beachgoers.
The promontory served as an important navigation point for ancient seafarers traveling between the Crotone and Sibari regions. Archaeological remains in the area reveal evidence of earlier settlements and maritime trade activities.
The promontory's name reflects its geographical position, and it functions today as a gathering place for swimmers and beachgoers from surrounding communities. Visitors can observe families and groups enjoying the beaches in the way typical of southern Italian coastal life.
The beaches feature both free and paid sections where you can rent equipment for water sports. Multiple entrances allow easy access from different sides of the promontory.
Beneath the water surface lie submarine canyons with wave-like formations that shape sediment movement in the sea. These hidden structures play a role in how the coastline evolves over time.
