This is perhaps Tropea's greatest asset: in the shade of the cliffs, the city has a heavenly coastline, dotted with sandy beaches, some of which are among the most beautiful in Italy. The Spiaggia Rotonda, to the right of the Santa Maria dell'Isola rock, is the most famous and liveliest of them all. For a more relaxed time, try the small Spiaggia del Cannone, hidden away near the harbour. If you go out diving, you can reach the Grotta del Palombaro, a sea cave to the north of Santa Maria dell'Isola. The Mare Grande beach, on the other hand, is lined with parasols and sun loungers, perfect for a lazy day by the water.
