The most beautiful beaches of Cilento: secret paradises not to be missed

The Cilento National Park safeguards some of the most pristine and spectacular coastlines in Italy, a succession of secret bays, crystal-clear waters, and wild nature. We begin our journey heading from the north, where the Baia di Trentova opens up in Agropoli. Named after the characteristic rock linked to an ancient legend, it is famous for its turquoise waters and shallow seabeds, beautifully framed by dense Mediterranean scrub. Moving further south, we encounter the magic of the Costa della Masseta in Scario and the renowned Cala Infreschi. This bay, a true natural pool surrounded by steep cliffs, is a protected marine area where the sea takes on indescribable shades and the atmosphere is made unique by the cold underwater freshwater springs that mix with the saltwater. But the real jewel set in the rock, the one that steals the heart of every traveler, is located in Palinuro: the Baia del Buon Dormire. Recognizable by the iconic Rabbit Rock standing proudly in front of the beach, it offers golden sand and an emerald sea that rivals tropical landscapes. However, this paradise has a special feature that makes it even more exclusive: it is inaccessible by land. The only way to reach its pristine waters is by sea. With the Cilento Coast Company boat tours, you can experience the thrill of dropping anchor right in this dream bay, swimming in its transparent waters during our excursions along the legendary Coast of Myth, for an unforgettable experience far from the chaos of crowded beaches.
