The sea at Casamicciola

Sandy beaches, rocky coves and hot springs flowing into the sea, on the north coast of the island of Ischia.

Casamicciola Terme faces north, towards the Gulf of Naples, Procida and the Phlegraean coast. Its coastline runs for just a few kilometres, from the border with Lacco Ameno in the west to the headland of Castiglione towards Ischia Porto, yet this short stretch holds a remarkable variety of landscapes.

In the centre, next to the harbour and Piazza Marina, Marina Beach offers golden sand and shallow water, easy to reach on foot. To the west, near the heliport, Fundera Beach is small, sandy and sunny until the afternoon. To the east, at Perrone, Monastery Beach is reached by a flight of steps, while along the Castiglione coast Bagnitielli Beach is a rocky cove where thermal water gushes straight into the sea.

This is the most distinctive feature of the sea at Casamicciola: the springs that made the town famous flow into it, and it can also be enjoyed from the thermal parks overlooking the coast. The harbour, with hydrofoil and ferry connections to Naples, Pozzuoli and Procida, is the gateway to the town for those arriving by sea.
