Ogliastro Marina is a seaside village in the province of Salerno, forming part of the municipality of Castellabate within the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. Set along the Tyrrhenian coast, it lies between wooded hills and a wide sandy bay fringed by pine forests. The clear, shallow waters and gently curving shoreline give the village a relaxed, natural atmosphere typical of the Cilento Coast, while its small harbour reflects its origins as a fishing settlement.
​
At the heart of the village stands the Church of Madonna delle Grazie, a focal point for local religious celebrations. The surrounding coast is part of a protected marine area, known for its clean waters and seagrass meadows that support local marine life. Ogliastro Marina also offers coastal trails leading towards Punta Licosa, an area of exceptional natural and historical significance. Its proximity to Castellabate, San Marco di Castellabate, and Acciaroli places it within one of the most scenic and ecologically rich sections of the southern Cilento coastline.
