"Characterized by a crescent shape, the Arcomagno beach owes its name to this imposing rock arch that "protects" it from the sea. About 25 meters long, it is also known as beach of Aeneas, since it is said that following the fall of Troy the hero found himself precisely on this
beach.
Next to this inlet is also the Grotta del Saraceno, a natural cavity within which it flows a source of fresh water. To reach it you follow a path carved into the rock that offers magnificent views of the coast Tyrrhenian Sea of Calabria.
To reach the Arcomagno beach by foot, you need to use a path carved into the rock - you CANNOT swim into it from the other side/boat tour. This is important to note - it requires a small entrance fee and there are strict rules/security there to maintain its beauty but also to protect you from falling rocks."
