Think twice about visiting Tonnara di Scopello

On first impression one might think this is a must visit if you are in the Scopello neighbourhood . Truth is,? it is nothing what you might expect - you pay 5 euro / person just to see the boat ramp - there is no...More

5€ for not much

We probably had a jaded view as our villa was just along the coast with a stupendous 180 view and no tourists. I imagine it would be hideous in high season. We spent an hour sitting on the deck chairs just watching the sea .....More

Commercialised

Visited Tonnara di Scopello nine years ago and my husband and I were the only people down there. So a bit of a shock to see how commercialised it has become - although not much in the way of amenities provided - deck chairs and...More

We nearly didn't visit due to some of the negative reviews on here and were braced for a bad experience. However, the staff were really courteous. We did have to pay 5 euro to park and 5 euro each to swim. But we chose to...More

Worth paying for

We had three days in Scopello and spent two of them here. It is privately owned so they charge 5 euro's each to enter, and as there is no sand you are not allowed to take umbrellas onto the beach, but it is absolutely worth...More

Instagram fodder!

Spectacular spot, worth the €5 entry fee! Can be very busy but found a spot ok. It is a 200 metre walk down a hill from the carpark which costs €3
