Marina Beach

Piazza Marina and the Seafront

At a glance

Marina Beach is the town beach of Casamicciola Terme, next to the harbour and Piazza Marina on Ischia's north coast. It offers around 150 metres of golden sand mixed with pebbles, a gently shelving sandy seabed suited to children, equipped beach clubs and stretches of free beach, all within walking distance.

Where it is

Marina Beach is the town beach of Casamicciola Terme: it lies next to the harbour, along the main road that runs through the town, a few steps from Piazza Marina and the seafront. It faces the north coast of the island of Ischia, towards the Gulf of Naples, and is the easiest beach to reach if you are staying in the centre or arriving by sea at the Marina di Casamicciola.

What the beach is like

The beach stretches for about 150 metres and consists of golden sand mixed with pebbles. The water is clear and the sandy seabed shelves gently, which makes it popular with families with children and also suitable for water sports. Alongside the beach clubs, which offer sunloungers, umbrellas, showers, bars and restaurants, there are stretches of free beach.

Sun and exposure

Facing north, the beach gets the sun mainly from morning until early afternoon. It is exposed to westerly and north-westerly (mistral) winds, which can make the sea choppier on windy days.

How to get there

The beach has easy, level access from the main road and the town centre. EAV buses on the CS, CD, 1 and 2 routes stop at Marina di Casamicciola, a few steps from the sand; if you come by car, there is parking around the harbour. If you arrive in Casamicciola by hydrofoil or ferry, the beach is a few minutes' walk from the quay.

Tips for your visit

  • In the summer months the beach clubs are in high demand: if you want a spot on the free beach, arrive in the morning.
  • The shallow water is ideal for little ones, but with the harbour so close, keep an eye on boat traffic and stay within the marked swimming areas.
  • After your swim, the seafront and Piazza Marina offer bars, restaurants and shops for a sunset stroll.
