Chiaiolella Beach
Between Punta Serra and the promontory of Santa Margherita Vecchia, the Spiaggia della Chiaiolella, whose 'real' name is "Ciracciello", is the longest and most popular coastline on the island of Procida. The coastline is characterised by shallow waters, ideal for safe swimming, and by the presence of rocky areas and others covered in lush Mediterranean scrub, making the landscape even more evocative.
The Chiaiolella beach is bordered by the larger Ciraccio beach by two characteristic tufa stacks, formed by a landslide on the rocky ridge that originally separated the two beaches. As already mentioned for Ciraccio, the sun shines at all hours on this part of the beach, while in the afternoon the mistral wind often rises, making the sea a little rough, but no less fascinating.
From here, in fact, it is possible to enjoy a unique panorama of the Isle of Vivara, a nature reserve, and the nearby island of Ischia. Behind the beach there is also a romantic dock overlooked by numerous tourist facilities, bars and restaurants. Strolling along the dock or along the promenade, especially in the evening, allows you to enjoy the magical atmosphere of this fascinating corner of Procida.
