Along Calabria’s Riviera dei Cedri, the northern stretch of coast facing the Thyrrenian Sea, there is a unique small cove where the rocks and a crystal clear sea create a breathtaking show. It is Arcomagno beach, at San Nicola Arcella, in the province of Cosenza, a jewel guarded between two much more famous destinations, Scalea and Praia a Mare.

Arcomagno is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in Calabria. Shaped by the erosive action of the sea on the rock, it owes its name to the imposing stone arch that frames the access to the sea. An opening in the arch has led to the creation of a small bay, with small pebbles and crystalline waters.
