SS106, 89047, Roccella ionica
Been here?
Large marina parking area beside the sea, with views of boats and several water points. The sanitary-block shower was reported closed in 2026, so the original hot-shower description is no longer reliable. Recent reports describe nighttime conversations and frequent vehicle movements, making the area a meeting place rather than consistently peaceful. Toilets and a pizzeria are also associated with the marina.

We came for the shower - it was closed.
January 2026 Beautiful view and lovely boats. At night people chat. Further away there is a very quiet place near the sea. But it is a meeting place...
Actually the perfect spot, clean sanitary facilities and enough space. For unknown reasons, young drivers use this place as a chatting spot or drug-dealing location. There was constant coming and going all night. And every now and then a specialist tried to optimize his best time through the tight bend. Noise all night.
We were there in mid-July and campers were prohibited. Although one was parked there, we left.
Very large illuminated parking area with Coast Guard and Port Authority presence. We spent a quiet night, although cars pass by without being too disturbing. Water, bar, pizzeria.
Absolutely not recommended, very restless all night: car parties, honking, shouting, and apparently intentionally parking next to you. I didn't get any sleep. Zero stars.
From 9 p.m. onward it is chaos. Wherever you park, cars constantly pass through and even stop next to the camper. And this was in mid-February. I don't dare imagine it in summer. I fled at 10 p.m.
Quiet and safe parking area, water fountains available, promenade and cycle path toward the town. Recommended.
A beautiful place, but not recommended on weekends because the locals make a racket here for half the night.
Even though it is a gloomy day, the place is very beautiful. Lots of space, views of the pine forest and port. We slept here on Saturday night and can confirm that in the area where the campers are parked in the photos, various cars with young people arrive in the evening and make some noise. It is therefore better to park elsewhere and give up the view of the port. In any case, it is a safe place.
