💡 Tips
- Boat tours from Marina di Camerota are the best way to see the Infreschi caves. Book a day in advance during peak summer.
- Parking near the marina is very limited. Park slightly inland and enjoy a short walk to the waterfront.
- Visit the upper, medieval part of the town (Camerota Alta) for cooler air and historic alleys, distinct from the busy coastal marina.
- The coastal hiking trails can be quite rocky. Wear sturdy hiking shoes, not just beach sandals, if you plan to walk to secluded coves.
🍽 Food
Special local anchovies caught using traditional nets; try them at seafood spots near the harbor.

A comforting Cilentan dish of thick pasta and chickpeas; look for it at rustic inland agriturismi.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
High-quality extra virgin olive oil; purchase directly from local olive mills or specialty food shops.
Colorful local pottery typical of the region, found in small boutiques in the historic center.
A striking natural harbor; visit early in the morning for the most peaceful experience.

Located in the heart of the Cilento National Park, Marina di Camerota has a coastline renowned for its crystal-clear waters and rocky bays. Visitors can relax on the fine sands of Spiaggia della Calanca or the wider expanse of Spiaggia Marine delle Barche, both easily accessible from the town center. For those seeking unspoiled nature, hiking trails or boat trips lead to spectacular hidden gems. Explore the pretty Spiaggia Pozzallo, the pebbled Spiaggia Lentiscelle, and the striking Cala d'Arconte. The famous Spiaggia di Marcellino (or dei Francesi) features pure tranquility, while Spiaggia Capo Grosso and Cala di Torre Mozza provide dramatic coastal scenery. The smaller bays of Spiaggia della Sciabica, Spiaggia della Risima, and Spiaggia degli Iscolelli add to the variety. The historical upper town features narrow streets and a medieval atmosphere. Down by the marina, visitors can enjoy fresh seafood, lively evening strolls, and boat tours exploring the region's sea caves.
