Spiaggia Costa dell'Ambra is a historic beach known for its significant role in the Second World War. It was the site of the landings by Canadian soldiers in July 1943, marking the first substantive victories in Europe during the war. An informal monument featuring Canadian and Italian flags can be found just south of the beach, serving as a reminder of its historical significance.
The beach is praised for its natural beauty and tranquility. It is often described as an earthly paradise, with its unspoiled surroundings and abundant natural fauna, including flamingos. The beach is devoid of any equipment, lido, or bar, which contributes to its exceptional natural charm. It is easily accessible with no barriers or private roads, making it a popular choice for those seeking a serene beach experience.
Despite its natural allure, the beach does not offer many amenities. However, it does provide a shower with running water and a garage for changing. Visitors are advised to plan accordingly due to the lack of facilities. The beach is not typically crowded, especially during the early afternoon hours, providing an ideal setting for those seeking solitude.
While the beach is generally well-received, some visitors have noted that the road leading to the beach is rocky and the beach itself can appear neglected. Despite these minor drawbacks, Spiaggia Costa dell'Ambra continues to attract visitors with its historical significance and natural beauty.
