La Grotta della Scala is a beach located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Basilicata, Italy. It is located in a small bay surrounded by high cliffs, near the historic center of Maratea.
The beach is characterized by a large horseshoe-shaped cave which protects it from most of the sea waves. The crystal clear water and dark sand make it a popular destination for tourists, although its isolated location makes it less crowded than other more popular beaches in the region.
To reach the Grotta della Scala beach, you can park your car near the historic center of Maratea and walk for about 20-30 minutes along a path that crosses the cliff. Alternatively, it is possible to reach the beach via a taxi-boat service or to hire a private boat.
It is important to note that the beach is not equipped with services such as showers, toilets or restaurants, so it is necessary to bring everything you need with you. Also, you can find some smaller beaches nearby that offer a greater variety of services.
In any case, the Grotta della Scala di Maratea is certainly a suggestive and particular place that deserves to be visited if you are on holiday in the area!
