The Scalea beach and the town are appreciable, the mountains are close and well maintained, the sea is almost always clean, the shoreline is made of smooth pebbles mixed with sand, affordable prices and acceptable services. excellent separate waste collection, not perfect due to a few uncivilized people. let's be clear, we are not in Porto Cervo or Cortina but the quality/price ratio is nothing short of superlative. the only real problem arises only in the central weeks of August, made up of barbarian hordes of various tribes (Goths, Vandals, Huns etc) of pseudo holidaymakers, all rigorously coming from a very specific geographical area, who export their habitual uncivilized behaviors, convinced of their innate sympathy, which for immediate understanding and not to remain in the vague list: repeatedly using the horn, even at night, parking in the most unexpected places, not respecting any rules of civil coexistence, shouting and screaming without any necessity, do not use the Italian language but their local idiom convinced that everyone must adapt, do not use helmets on motorbikes, do not wear seat belts in cars, transport children in cars ready to be projected outside like missiles, go walking around with unlikely license plates from the East, remaining with the air conditioner on while the family (7/9 people minimum) do the shopping etc etc... oh well we understand each other... many houses for sale at excellent prices that are only waiting for normal people that they drive out the barbarians and restore education and serenity to a wonderful place.

Spiaggia poco frequentata, spiaggia bellissima e acqua cristallina. Vi si accede da una scalinata, da cui il nome "La Scalea". La discesa non è comodissima ma ne vale la pena. La spiaggia è molto bella e il mare cristallino. Il fondale è ricco di pesci e ricci di mare per chiama stare anche in immersione.
Nelle giornate molto limpide in cui si vede anche Stromboli, è possibile ammirare durante il tramonto, il sole "inghiottito" dal cono del vulcano.

we need to delete this topic because people confuse between the town of Scalea (CS) and the staircase (scalea) that goes down to the beach of Santa Domenica di Ricadi (VV)

Per raggiungere la spiaggia si parcheggia l'auto in uno spiazzale pieno di spazzatura di ogni genere e si scende a piedi una scalinata nella roccia mal tenuta, pericolosa e piena di sterpaglie e fauna varia. Il mare è bello, ma è lo stesso di Riaci o Formicoli, raggiungibili comodamente in auto

For People who DO NOT want a Bathhouse and/or a Bar,
and they LOVE the semi-deserted beaches with rocks and seagrass,
and they are not scared by a slightly tiring staircase going up,
and wait for the wonderful sunset before going up from the beach,
the Scalea of Santa Domenica in Ricadi is a WONDER.
It's a shame that in the square above where you park (and also on the steps) the Municipality (or the Province?) does not constantly remove the TRASH that uncivilized and disrespectful people (and ungrateful towards such a generous Nature) leave without any restraint, instead of taking it home and disposing of it in the NORMAL household rubbish.

Onestamente negli ultimi anni ho notato peggioramenti nella qualità del mare e delle spiagge. Quest'anno oltre alla schiuma mista a residui di plastica e sostanze d'ogni sorta, si è aggiunta una patina oleosa e maleodorante di un verde intenso. Si ha quasi paura ad entrare in acqua.Delle chiazze enormi che si spostano in continuazione. Ho notato che sono aumentati i costi di ogni prodotto e servizio, strisce blu che hanno rimpiazzato anche quei pochi posti auto con strisce bianche. Ormai siamo delle mucche da mungere...ma almeno avessimo la qualità!!! Pessimo. Delusione TOTALE!Non ci tornerò e farò una pessima pubblicità!

Bellissima spiaggia quella di Scalea: il nome ricorda anche la lunga scalinata che porta giù verso la spiaggia. Parcheggio praticamente gratuito e spiaggia poco frequentata. Attenzione però la spiaggia è sormontata da uno sperone roccioso che durante le prime ore della giornata la tiene in ombra: per ovviare, una volta terminata la scalinata , andate a destra e superate alcune rocce troverete un arenile più grande, libero ( su cui insiste un piccolo campeggio) e soleggiato già dalle prime ore del mattino. Animali ammessi. Bella, bellissima ma la risalita è un po' faticosa...

Il mare è molto bello, portatevi le scarpette per gli scogli.
Le varie spiaggette sono molto piccole, divise appunto da scogli.
L'unico neo è che per arrivare fin giù bisogna scendere (e purtroppo poi risalire) una bella rampa in pendenza.
Dal mio punto di vista non consigliato per persone anziane.
Portatevi l'ombrellone e dei viveri perchè una volta arrivati giù non ci sono servizi.
Il parcheggio è gratuito.

Accesso alla spiaggia con scalinata ripida ma agevole. Si arriva in una caletta di scogli, piccola e non attrezzata. Non adatta a intere giornate di mare perchè manca possibilitá di sdraiarsi. Comoda per chi soggiorna a Santa domenica perchè si arriva a piedi dal paese. Se il cielo è limpido si vedono le eolie e il tramonto su di esse.

È bastato solo uno sguardo per innamorarsi della spiaggia e di portare sempre vivo negli occhi quel mare meraviglioso che aveva dei colori stupendi
