The beach of the homonymous village of San Nicola Arcella, perched on a cliff of 110 meters, is a stretch of jagged coastline, with dark sand mixed with gravel and romantic coves set among the rocks. Located in the middle between Praia a Mare and Scalea, it is also part of the Riviera dei Cedri. The most photographed and suggestive place is undoubtedly the Arco Magno, also known as the Grotta del Saraceno, a rock eroded by time that forms a real arch on the water with very special light effects.
