Torremezzo di Falconara: Beaches, Culture and Calabrian Cuisine

The Cammino di San Giacomo provides the town with a connection to a walking route, while the SS 107 marks the road access. This makes the town a destination for a range of interests: walks amid greenery, days at the beach, Calabrian cuisine and cultural discoveries.

Beaches between light sand and pebbles

The natural beaches of Torremezzo di Falconara are up to 90 m wide. Spiaggia Marina di Torremezzo is characterised by light sand and pebbles, particularly along the shore. Ape Maya is also located nearby, while Spiaggia di Longobardi can be found in the area around Torremezzo di Falconara. These different beach options allow you to experience the town's coastal character not only through a single stretch of shore, but also to include other beaches in your plans. When planning a day by the water, the nature of the shoreline is also a factor alongside the beach's width. At Spiaggia Marina di Torremezzo, light sand and pebbles make a tangible difference when choosing which section to visit. Ape Maya and Spiaggia di Longobardi extend the area to explore beyond Spiaggia Marina di Torremezzo.

Coastal stage with views of mountains and open water

Water sports are also part of the picture: the Trofeo Settimio Frangella was announced in Torremezzo as the third edition of a 3-km open-water swimming middle-distance race.

Anyone wishing to combine the coastal stretch with a mountain landscape will find two specific names in the area in Monte Cocuzzo and Cozzo Cervello; no particular route follows from this.
