It is particularly known for its almost unspoiled natural landscapes and the very high cleanliness of its waters.

Geography

Map showing municipalities of the Cilentan Coast

There are 16 municipalities composing the coast, but only two (Agropoli and Sapri) are directly located by the Tyrrhenian Sea, and other two (Ascea and Pisciotta) have got their Marinas very close to the towns. Other localities are frazioni of hillside municipalities.

The promontory of Cape Palinuro, nearly at the centre of the Cilentan coast, is a worldwide touristic landmark.

Blue Flag

Due to the quality of its water, the Cilento Coast is the most awarded coastal area of Campania and one of the most ones of Italian Tyrrhenian Coast, by the Blue Flag beach.[1] Many localities of the coast are also awarded with the Sails, from 5 to 1, of Legambiente.[2]
