Contrada Bruscata Grande, 87011, Cassano All’Ionio
Been here?
A shaded beach parking area among pine trees, where overnight stays require permission from the lido manager. It is generally calm outside the season, with a clean beach, swimming, showers, toilets, water, and rubbish bins available. Parking may not be allowed during high season or at weekends, so permission should be requested first.

The parking area belongs to the lido. Occasionally the manager allows parking for a few hours, but not in high season or on weekends. In any case, you must ask first. The lady allowed us to stay.
We spent a wonderful night here! Quiet, no lights, clean beach, with a shower and toilets. Very peaceful at this time of year, under the pines and in the shade. Everything was perfect.
Parking in a pine grove beside a sandy beach. Follow the direction to Golden Beach. A peaceful night because it was off-season.
We had two wonderful days and peaceful nights. We stayed on the beach, a lovely place! There is water and there are rubbish bins. We felt safe with several other campers. A fantastic place! Not recommended between June and mid-September because of the crowds.
Exceptional spot on the beach in a pine grove. Magnificent sunrise. Easy access for a heavy vehicle.
Superb place at the end of April. Beachfront spot, pure happiness. Quiet night. Good network coverage.
Beautiful place, wonderfully quiet now; we are alone. Sunny and shaded pitches, with good Wi-Fi reception. In high season everything is available: restaurants, showers and a campsite.
A very beautiful, quiet place directly on the clean beach! We were here with only three motorhomes. Unfortunately, the pine trees are used for dumping waste! The beach bar will probably open on June 1. The beach showers have not yet been activated.
Great place outside the season, for overnight stays or longer. Superb sunrise. Quiet; we were there with another camper and a permanent resident.
A great beach… BUT a terrible experience as a woman traveling alone: two men on bicycles came and demanded money so that I could spend the night here. I called the Carabinieri, who documented everything. The men fled as soon as I spoke to the Carabinieri on the phone. Take care!
Very quiet place this season. Plenty of parking, including under the trees. There are still working showers on the beach.
Spent the night here on October 18. What a beautiful beach. Abandoned lido area, but clean and tidy. Recommended! When we were there, an English caravan was still present, so we were not alone. It is fairly remote. Locals do come by to look around and walk their dogs.
Best spot yet. Can keep going and will come to an area in the pines right by the beach (dead end) - golden beach. Showers and loos in season, all locked up now. Just a bin.
An absolute dream. Direct access to the beach. Fine sandy beach with views across the bay and mountains in the background. We were here at the end of September 2025. Ideal for self-sufficient campers.
Nice free parking area in the shade. With some care, a coachbuilt motorhome can get through, always watching out for protruding branches. The sea is beautiful but becomes deep after a few metres. There is a private-parking sign, but nobody came to complain; it was a Sunday in mid-September and many campers were there, some for several days.
Excellent shaded place with facilities and a shower.
Very quiet place by the sea, with unclear parking arrangements and few spaces. The beach is only a few metres away, very large and peaceful, with both free beach and lido options. Free parking. Recommended.
Superb place! We were welcomed at midnight by a guard who guided us to a parking spot. Very shady and we slept extremely well. A little noisy, but understandably so: there was a festival, fireworks nearby, and people from the campsite enjoying the beach. Very shady, beautiful sandy beach; we had a wonderful night and morning. Beach activities and a bar. Highly recommended!
We spent three lovely days here. Great beach. Preparations for the beach season were in full swing. Water and showers available. The toilet was also open until the last day. No shopping facilities nearby. Otherwise very nice.
Excellent place for a seaside stop, at least now that the season is just beginning. I imagine it is very busy in midsummer, especially with cars. Right on the beach but shaded by a pine grove, with several showers.
Wow, what an amazing place to be allowed to stay. We were here on the night of May 30–31. Right on the beach and still wonderfully quiet. Occasionally a car came to look around and drove away. There was activity on the beach preparing everything for the season starting June 1. Five stars for the location, view and sea. There is a small toilet building and cold outdoor showers. The local people are very friendly.
Great place, highly recommended. We spent one night in complete silence, but the season starts on June 1 and it will be crowded. We had the sea and beach to ourselves :)
What an amazing place! Beautiful beach, wonderfully peaceful, mostly trash free, even a spare lounger!
We were here as three people in mid-March. The beach showers worked, there were no stray dogs, and relatively little rubbish. Good place with a dog!
Once a 10-metre motorhome stabilized with jacks has set up, there is no room left for anyone else.
Wonderful place for a night. Very calm, perfect for travellers with cats and dogs.
