Pizzo Beach is the main sandy strand that runs along the coast of Pizzo. The beach is part of a bay that is known for its long pier offering scenic views of the town and its cliffs. Bring your camera to capture the stunning scenery around this urban beach.

Michelino Beach is a narrow and secluded sandy coastline adorned with large boulders and backed by the verdant cliffs of Parghelia. It has crystal-clear water of varying hues of blue that calmly lap the fine, white sand of the beach. Enjoy the utter serenity of this sheltered sandy haven between the cliffs.

Murat Castle contains an intriguing museum on the history of the region. In a twist of fate, it takes its name from King of Naples, Joachim Murat, who was executed in the castle’s main hall. Snap photos of the majestic castle with a scenic backdrop of Pizzo’s hills and quaint houses.

The Piedigrotta Church is a fabulous religious structure carved into the rock face of beachside cliffs. It is known for its array of intriguing sculptures and its spectacular views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Snap photos of this exceptional church with a backdrop of the emerald cliffs.
