Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Maybe in autumn nice, in July you can't get there at all, at least by car. Steep, narrow driveway and a handful of parking spaces, pure chaos. In addition, as everywhere at Capo Vaticano, parking costs 2 euros an hour, plus the bold prices for sunbed and umbrella. You then lie like an oil sardine in a confined space.

To reach this beach there is a long descent , steep that with 40 degrees and also thinking about the return then climb , is certainly not easy. I tried of course to go by car all the way down , the parking lots were already full and the only parking available for a fee was the first one you meet on the left that asks 15 euros even if you stay two hours! And c is written in agreement with the city for which you enter hopeful! On the beach umbrellas also massed in the paid beaches , small strip of free beach (right), private beach that appropriates with dinghies, pedals etc. of every cm possible! Morality: either go at seven in the morning and leave at nine opp know that you will need a lot of patience!
At the blue wave beach I paid 22 euros for a bottle of water a coffee a juice and a chocolate croissant! It's okay that I'm on vacation and I don't go to expenses but !!!!!

I can consider it self-harm to return to these shores.
We book the day before by phone 2 umbrellas and 4 sunbeds in the front row cost 50 euros per station and ok well August can fit.
Meanwhile they imposed the arrival time 09:30 and it'll work so we thought
Arrived on site already with 30 degrees the delirium to park
But the worst was the beach we had yes the first row which however would have been pedestrian access to the other beach then towels caps infinity mats on our legs by all passers-by.
In that strip of shoreline of about 1 meter are parked pedal boats inflatables and mind the speedboat that drags the inflatables, which starts from the shore with engine running giving everyone a healthy zanfata of naphtha.
No regard for bathers, we looked like so many chickens at the entrance to a chicken coop.
I didn't take pictures to forget first, and despite the park being paid until 14:30 to 12:00 we fled.
I wonder, but doesn't the harbormaster do a check?

Very beautiful beach: clear water and beautiful colors! Easily accessible, leaving your car in the paid car parks: if you come early in the morning there are around 30 parking spaces on the white lines. Beautiful bay!

Never again!!! in all my life I have never been in a beach more badly organized than this! A huge effort to find parking, at the end 15 € x the private one, two not inconsiderable curves to give on foot .. arrivals and there is access to the beach, licked that 90% is occupied by lidos .Cross the beach about 1km with umbrellas, luggage and backpacks on , passing between the beaches and people to finally get to the bottom where THE LORDS have left a crevice of free beach.On the way back do the same excruciating walk .. a delirium! not to mention the boulders in the water that barely allow you to take a bath.No showers ne sevizi .. yet money the municipality collects enough to afford everything.A real disgust!!

Since there is a lot of hype here too, we had to pay the beach a visit.
First of all, we were charged €10 (!) parking fees for the day. When we arrived at the beach, it seemed a bit daunting to us because of the very touristy structures. There was hardly a free stretch of beach that wasn't covered with umbrellas and loungers that were rented out. After we found a spot, we noticed that it was dirty (compared to other local beaches). There were also a lot of jellyfish in the water.
After a kayak tour there (which is highly recommended), we moved on.

Beautiful sea but too crowded beach. At the Onda Blu establishment an umbrella and two sunbeds cost 30.00 euros, parking costs 10.00 euros all day. If you go to the bathroom toilet paper costs 0.50 cents😂....presence of small jellyfish

Parking too expensive even for a few hours, bar too expensive even for a coffee, rudeness of the owners of the bar and parking lot towards tourists, instead of treating them well to get them back try to earn in August for the whole year!!
Very bad, never to go back!!!!

Lido MARESERVICE BAD. To be avoided. High prices for the services offered, 35 euros for an umbrella and two sunbeds, however the beach does not have a toilet or shower. The managers are rude. Access to the sea is impossible due to the presence of pedal boats. Disgrace for such a beautiful land

Nice water but parking problem. Two full parking lots after you walk almost a kilometer to park you find yourself a nice 85 euro fine. With the parking lots full, who should have had fun.

Hello, I would like to know how is access at Groticelle beach? Is it good to get there with kids? Are there free and paid areas /with umbrellas/?
Written 23 January 2019
Hello,
you can access at Grotticelle beach with your car but the park area is very small, we will get there by mini wan of the hotel. Yes it is good for the kids and there are free and paid areas with umbrellas. I don't know where do you stay in hotel or apt but many hotel offer a service with mini bus. Another beach nearby is in front of the hotel Resort Thalasso and Spa Capovaticano, the beach is free, there isn't many people, you can find some bar but to get there you need a car and you can see the vulcan Stromboli. I hope help you, Max

non ricordo divieti scritti, ma ho visto che se li portavano sotto ombrelloni, se poi ci si sposta un po a destra nelle calette isolate gli fai fare anche il bagno....gli unici vigili pensavano a fare le multe nel parcheggio

Salve a tutti! Vorrei sapere com’è la qualità del ristorante sul lido e che prezzi medi posso trovare. Grazie!
Written 16 August 2018
Proprio sulla spiaggia non andare a mangiare al 4 scogli!!! Noi ci siamo trovati male. A fianco del 4scogli c'era un altro posto ... mi pare la grotta(sempre sul mare) che pareva più elegantino, ma non saprei dire si più. Confermo come da altra risposta il ristorante La Bussola molto buono prezzi medio/alti, come però del resto tutti. Se ti puoi spostare un po' a Brattirò (14 min di auto) c'è il ristorante La Casereccia menù di terra, prezzi medio/bassi qualità buona, da lì una bella passeggiata a Tropea che raggiungi in 5minuti.

Io sono stata a giugno ed era tutto abbastanza libero. Ad agosto secondo me conviene andare presto o prenotare..leggevo che ad agosto c’è molto più turismo!
