Soverato beach

The beach of Soverato is one of the most famous of the Calabrian beaches and is located on the northeast coast of the region between Montepaone Lido and Marina di Davoli . This charming seaside resort is often awarded both with the Blue Flag by the FEE (Foundation for environmental education) and with the Green Flag by Italian paediatricians for beaches suitable for families with children. The beach is narrow and long and composed of very fine white sand that emphasizes the color of the sea from turquoise to cobalt blue. The seabed slopes down quickly and is clearly visible meters from the coast; it is therefore an ideal place for snorkelers who want to admire the species of marine flora and fauna that reside in this stretch of coast. Among the most appreciated beaches of Soverato is the Hippocampus Bay located a short distance from the city center. A curiosity : the beach of Soverato is not only chosen for its cleanliness and for the presence of structures and receptive services but also for the Calabrian culinary traditions that boast undisputed delicacies. The typical product of the area, exported internationally, is the Soverato chilli pepper – also called Diavolicchio – which is one of the most spicy in the world (with an average hotness of around 30,000 on the Scoville scale ).
