The Fiordo di Furore is one of the most dramatic natural settings in the Mediterranean — a sliver of pebble beach hidden at the bottom of a deep gorge, flanked by rock walls that rise thirty meters straight up to a road bridge above. Roughly 200 steps lead down from the road. There are zero facilities: no bar, no sunbeds, no lifeguard. Bring everything you need. The water is emerald green in the morning sun and turns dark sapphire as the cliffs steal the light by early afternoon. Every July, the MarMeeting world cliff diving championship sends athletes plunging from the bridge into the cove below. Hauntingly beautiful and completely raw.
SITA bus stop on SS163 at the bridge. Stairs descend from the road. No parking at the beach — use pulloffs on the main road.
Go before 11 AM to catch the sunlight in the gorge. The beach is tiny — maybe room for 30 people. In July during MarMeeting, the whole fjord becomes a spectator arena. Photograph from the bridge above for the best angle.
