Overview

The Lungomare Falcone-Borsellino is a long coastal promenade in Lamezia Terme, featuring a wide beach area that faces the Tyrrhenian Sea. It serves as a tribute to Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the Sicilian magistrates killed by the Mafia in 1992. The area is characterized by an expansive gravel and sand shoreline with views of the Aeolian Islands on clear days. While the promenade is modern, the surrounding environment retains a semi-wild character with dunes and Mediterranean scrub. The beach is a popular spot for local evening walkers, cyclists, and runners. It remains relatively underdeveloped compared to major Italian resort towns, preserving a more authentic, local atmosphere. The location is situated near the industrial and airport zones of Lamezia Terme.

Insider tips

Bring sturdy footwear, as the beach consists of a mix of sand and medium-sized pebbles.

Visit during the late afternoon to experience the sunset directly over the sea.

The promenade area lacks significant natural shade, so bring high-factor sunscreen and protective headwear.

What to avoid

Do not expect high-end luxury resort amenities or full-service private beach clubs, as the area is largely public and functional.
