Spiaggia di San Montano is a picturesque beach located in Lacco Ameno, on the island of Ischia. The beach is nestled within a small bay, beautifully framed by the surrounding cliffs. According to local folklore, it is believed that Santa Restituta, one of the island's patron saints, landed at this location from Africa.
The natural features of the beach include fine, soft sand and clear, shallow waters. The beach's gradual entry into the sea makes it an ideal spot for non-swimmers and those who prefer a gentle approach to the water. Despite its popularity, the beach usually maintains a peaceful atmosphere, with plenty of space for visitors even during weekends.
In terms of amenities, Spiaggia di San Montano is well-equipped to cater to the needs of its visitors. There is a well-maintained bathing establishment that includes facilities for water sports. For those who wish to relax on the beach, there are sun loungers available for rent in one section of the beach, while another section is kept free of sun loungers. Additional facilities include clean showers, toilets, changing rooms, and a small bar for refreshments. For those who need beach accessories, such as floaties, there are stores in close proximity.
The beach is accessible by both bus and car. The nearest bus stop is approximately 900 meters away, and the beach is served by bus lines 1, 2, CD, and CS. The walk from the bus stop to the beach involves some steps and a relatively flat path, which should be manageable for most visitors. For those who prefer to drive, there is a spacious parking area available near the beach.
Adding to the beach's allure is the nearby Negombo Hydrothermal Park, which boasts various pools filled with seawater and thermal water. Visitors can enjoy their time at the beach until late in the evening, with the water remaining warm enough for swimming even after 7pm.
