Language beach: The First Dive in Due Passi from the Port
Have you just landed from the ferry and look forward to smelling salt on the skin? The Language beach That's your answer. Along with the "sister" Silurenza, it is one of the two beaches Marina Grande, and is the winning choice for those who have only a few hours available or for those who want a crystal clear sea corner without having to take bus or taxi.
Where History Meets the Sea
Reaching the Language is a pleasure for the eyes. From the pier of arrival, just a short and pleasant walk along the seafront of Marina Grande. On the way, you will be accompanied by the iconic pastel facades of the procidane palaces. You will pass in front of the majestic Palazzo Merlato (also known as Palazzo Montefusco) and you will cross the lively Square Sancio Cattolico, before heading down to the coast.
Pebbles, Crystal Water and Clear Shadow
Unlike the great sandy beaches of Chiaiolella, the Language is characterized by a suggestive stretch of dark pebbles. This particular backdrop has a great advantage: it makes the water incredibly clear and transparent, perfect for a regenerating swim with a view of the channel that separates Procida from the mainland.
An insider tip on times:
- Morning: The sun kisses the beach towards the 10:00. It is the best time to enjoy the warmth and full light.
- Afternoon: Due to the high rocky wall that the overstay (on which stands the village of Terra Murata), the beach goes in shadow very early in the afternoon. This makes it the ideal retreat on warm African days, allowing you to relax in the cool without sacrificing the sea breeze.
Establishments and Services
Language Beach is for the most part free, keeping that soul a little wild typical of the coves. However, for those who do not want to give up comfort, there is an elegant solarium. Here you can rent sun loungers and parasols or enjoy an aperitif at sunset, when the colors of the port begin to be magical and the air refreshes.
