With its soft sand and beautiful turquoise water, Spiaggia del Troncone (Troncone Beach) is one of the most popular summer destinations on the Cilento Coast.
Facing out to the Tyrrhenian Sea it offers a choice of private and public beaches with the public area popular with naturists. At the private areas you can rent parasols, sun-loungers and deck-chairs. |
There are plenty of dining options with restaurants and snack-bars available. Troncone is located along the main coast road between Palinuro and the nearby Marina di Camerota and its out of town location is one of its advantages with a car park just behind the beach providing easy access by road.
