Caminia is a small seaside village located in the province of Catanzaro, in the southern part of Calabria, along the Ionian coast. It is situated between the towns of Staletti and Soverato, offering a peaceful setting with stunning views of the Ionian Sea. The village is known for its tranquil atmosphere, making it a popular destination for those looking to enjoy a quieter, more relaxed coastal retreat. Caminia's beach, with its clear waters and sandy shores, is a key attraction for those seeking a beautiful spot to swim and sunbathe.

The village itself is modest, with a handful of local restaurants, cafés, and shops where visitors can enjoy fresh seafood and other regional specialities. The surrounding area is scenic, with olive groves and rolling hills that add to the charm of the location. The peaceful environment of Caminia makes it an ideal place for leisurely walks, nature explorations, and enjoying the Mediterranean climate.

Close by, the town of Soverato offers more amenities and attractions, including additional beaches, a lively promenade, and cultural sites. To the north, the village of Staletti provides a more rural atmosphere, with a historic centre and views of the surrounding countryside. Further inland, the Sila National Park offers ample opportunities for hiking, nature walks, and discovering the lush landscapes of Calabria's mountainous terrain. Caminia, with its serene beach, surrounding natural beauty, and proximity to both lively towns and outdoor activities, offers a peaceful yet well-connected experience for visitors to Calabria.

Things to Do

Things to Do in Caminia
  • Spiaggia di Caminia is a small, curved beach known for its fine sand and clear, shallow waters. Bordered by low cliffs and rocky outcrops, it is popular for swimming and snorkelling. The beach includes both free areas and organised lidos with sunbed rental and beach bars open in summer.
  • Grotta di San Gregorio Taumaturgo is a cave carved into the cliffs at the northern end of the beach, traditionally associated with Saint Gregory the Wonderworker. It has been used as a place of worship and pilgrimage and is still marked with a cross and small altar inside. The cave is accessible on foot along the shore.
  • Coastal Rock Formations and Snorkelling Spots surround the bay, with clear waters revealing underwater caves, seabeds, and schools of fish. The rocky points are ideal for snorkelling, especially around the edges of the beach. Equipment rental is available from local kiosks in the high season.
  • Walking Path to Copanello leads over the headland to the neighbouring village and offers panoramic views over the Gulf of Squillace. The trail follows a partly shaded route through Mediterranean scrub and open viewpoints. It is suitable for casual walkers and takes about 30–40 minutes each way.
  • Clifftop Lookout Points are located above the beach and accessible by road or short footpaths, offering views of the Ionian coastline and surrounding hills. These spots are popular for photography at sunset and provide a quiet alternative to the busier beach areas below. Limited parking is available nearby.
