Spiaggia Libera di Ciraccia is a serene and scenic beach located on the western coast of the island of Procida. It offers visitors a mesmerizing view of Ischia and is surrounded by towering tuff cliffs. The beach is known for its stunning sunsets and is characterized by its dark volcanic sand, which is a common feature of the island's beaches.
The beach is spacious and offers plenty of room for visitors. Its seabed is free of rocks, making it a comfortable spot for swimming. The beach's waters are known for their clarity, despite occasional reports of algae and various suspensions.
Spiaggia Libera di Ciraccio offers a mix of free beach areas and beach establishments near the faraglioni, or sea stacks. These establishments offer amenities such as rental umbrellas and sunbeds, toilet facilities, and a beach bar for enjoying an aperitif.
The beach's seclusion contributes to its tranquility, with buildings separated by dense vegetation that frames the high tuff cliffs. However, the area near the faraglioni tends to be more crowded, particularly during the middle of August.
The beach is easily accessible via a staircase adjacent to the La Rotonda lido. Visitors can also reach the beach by walking from Chiaiolella beach, which is located to the south of the renowned Faraglioni of Procida. For those coming from Naples, multiple ferries and hydrofoils are available that depart from Beverello pier or Calata Porta di Massa port and arrive at Marina di Procida port after a half-hour journey.
Overlooking the beach is the islet of Vivara, which is connected to the mainland by a bridge. This semicircular islet is part of the Marine Protected Area of the Kingdom of Neptune and is a testament to the area's volcanic history. Visitors to Vivara can explore its botanical, faunal, and archaeological beauties, which date back to the Bronze Age.
Please note that some areas of the beach are marked as impassable due to the risk of falling rocks. Despite this, Spiaggia Libera di Ciraccio continues to be a popular destination for its natural beauty and tranquility.

You can enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the bars situated on the beach.
