The Colour Fest 14 is a beach festival, but it is also a good excuse to explore one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Italy. Here is 7 beaches not to be missed during the festival days, ordered by distance from the stage.

1. Riviera dei Tramonti - Falcone e Borsellino Promenade

La festival beach. Clear sand, transparent water, long sunsets - that is why the Colour Fest is its name. It can be reached on foot from the concert area. Perfect for a morning swim before live performances.

2. Marina di Gizzeria

A few kilometres from the festival, Marina di Gizzeria is one of the most popular resorts on the Calabrian Tyrrhenian coast. Crystal-clear sea, shallow waters, seafront fish restaurants. 10 minutes by car from the stage.

3. Falerna Marina and Nocera Terinese

Further north, Falerna e Nocera Terinese offer less frequented beaches, sand mixed with gravel, rocky coves in places. A good alternative for those seeking peace on hot afternoons.

4. Pizzo Calabro

About 30 minutes southwards, Lace is one of the most beautiful villages in the Calabria: wide beaches under the Murat Castle, historic ice-cream parlours, the famous truffle of Pizzo. Bath + ice cream + sunset, perfect formula.

5. Tropea

A 50 minutes towards the south-west, Tropea is the postcard of the Calabria: the Rotunda Beach under the Shrine of Santa Maria dell'Isola is one of the most photographed views in Italy. Go there at dawn or dusk to avoid the crowds.

6. Capo Vaticano

Right after Tropea, Capo Vaticano is considered one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world in many international rankings. Caves, Tone, Praia di FuocoWhite sandy coves with turquoise water. Unmissable.

7. Caminia (Ionian coast)

On the other coast, Caminia is the iconic beach of the Orange Coastrocks, cliffs, sand, deep sea. It can be reached by 1 hour from Lamezia. It is another world compared to the Tyrrhenian: it is worth a whole day.
