Spiaggia di Le Cannella

Spiaggia di Le Cannella stretches along the Ionian coast with reddish-golden sand and clear water that shows the sea life below. The shore has both free and managed sections, with parking and a small port nearby.

Capo Rizzuto has been a key maritime settlement since ancient times, when Mediterranean peoples used this coast for trade and travel. The beach remains part of this long seafaring heritage.

Fishing traditions shape daily life here, with local boats and nets visible along the shore, and fresh seafood playing a central role in community meals.

The beach is easily reached with marked parking nearby and basic facilities available. Bring sun protection as shade is limited, and check tidal conditions before planning your swim.

The sand contains red minerals that shift in color depending on how the light hits it, making the beach look different throughout the day. This natural variation is especially noticeable at sunrise and sunset.
