💡 Tips
- Opt for a well-equipped 'Lido' (beach club), as public beach sections can get very hot and are often less maintained.
- Always wear flip-flops; the dark volcanic sand absorbs heat and gets painfully hot during the summer months.
- Avoid traveling from Naples on weekends, as traffic on the coastal roads can be extremely heavy and slow.
- Stay on the beach until sunset to enjoy the clear views of Ischia and Procida islands on the horizon.
- Check local water quality reports, as conditions can change depending on sea currents in this area.
🍽 Food
Buy this cheese fresh from the 'Caseifici' (dairies) located along the Via Domitiana.
Peppery steamed mussels with lemon, a seafood staple in the local beach restaurants.
Even at the beach, you can find excellent wood-fired pizzas in many of the local beach clubs.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Direct sales of buffalo mozzarella, fresh ricotta, and other regional cheese specialties.
Check nearby towns for markets offering fresh seasonal produce and affordable textiles.

Nuova Colmata is a spirited coastal stretch in the Campania region, situated just north of the bustling metropolis of Naples. Located directly on the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this destination is characterized by its typical dark, volcanic sand, a direct result of its proximity to the Phlegraean Fields. The area becomes a lively gathering place in summer for locals looking to enjoy the Italian dolce vita by the seaside. The Domitian coastline here provides a series of well-equipped beach clubs and animated public sections. Among the most famous spots are the Vittoria Beach Club, Club Sorriso, and Capri Beach, which entice visitors with sun loungers, umbrellas, and waterfront entertainment. The modern Key and the free beach section of Spiaggia Libera Licola Mare also provide ample space for sunbathing and swimming in the warm waters of the Mediterranean, accompanied by beachside music. Beyond the lively beach life, Nuova Colmata is deeply rooted in the Campanian way of life. After a long day at the sea, local pizzerias and traditional trattorias tempt visitors with world-famous Neapolitan pizza and fresh seafood dishes. Transport connections are excellent: via highways or the local train lines (Cumana) from Naples, this characteristic stretch of the Southern Italian coast can be reached quickly and conveniently.
