Beaches
If you're looking for large, family orientated beaches there are plenty to choose from in Capo Vaticano. Groticelle Bay slopes gently into the sea and has fewer rocks than some of the other grottoes. Meanwhile, the cliffs of Praia di Fucoco tumble in to the soft water and provide an ideal place for a spot of snorkelling.
Eating out
There are restaurants in Capo Vaticano catering from light bites by the sea to larger evening meals. Many of the dishes use fresh ingredients grown locally as Capo Vaticano is surrounded by picturesque farmland. Be sure to try a few Calabrian specialities, such as peporancino, huge, hot, sundried, red chillies washed down with the local Ciro wine.
Nightlife
Nightlife in Capo Vaticano is mainly based around the hotels. There are also a couple of bars towards the centre of town if you want to go out in the evenings and enjoy a tipple or two. Or head into Santa Domenica for more choice.
Shopping
There are a handful of souvenir shops and a few convenience stores around to cater for your basic holiday needs. However, if you simply can't come to Italy without buying a pair of shoes or a new outfit, take a day trip into Tropea or nearby Santa Domenica for a more comprehensive shopping experience.
