Cala Bianca means “white cove”—and the name says it all. This tiny beach with light-colored pebbles and emerald waters is nestled among rocks and greenery. In 2013, it was voted the most beautiful beach in all of Italy in an Italian poll, yet even today, only those who truly deserve it can reach it—on foot or by boat.
How to get there?
On Foot
The closest starting point is Marina di Camerota. From there, a hiking trail about 3 km long (about a 1-hour walk) leads through the Porto Infreschi e Costa della Masseta Nature Reserve. The trail isn’t difficult, but it isn’t suitable for strollers or people with limited mobility.
By boat
During the summer months, you can take a water taxi from Marina di Camerota—the short boat ride along the rugged coastline is an experience in itself.
What can you expect here?
Above all, no infrastructure. Cala Bianca is completely natural, with no stalls, bars, or umbrellas. The crystal-clear water is ideal for snorkeling—thanks to the protected marine environment, you’ll see a rich variety of marine life here. And you’ll experience true peace and quiet—even during peak season, there are far fewer people here than on other Italian beaches.
