Pizzo Calabro is a village on the coast, perched on a promontory in the center of the Gulf of Sant’Eufemia. Its territory includes a jagged coastline, distinguished by sandy beaches in some stretches and rocks in others. On the north-east coast, from a mediterranean pine forest to the mouth of the River Angitola stretches almost 9 km of large sandy beaches. Just behind the river rises the mountain of Vibo, which borders the territory, which has its boundary with Maierato and Vibo Valentia, on the ridge of the hills. Further to the south lies the tufaceous stone on which Pizzo has developed, the coast becomes rocky with numerous coves and areas rich in natural rocks, as well as several caves, including the Blue Grotto, reopened in recent years after various interventions for protection against wave motion.
In the central area we find the beach of the Seggiola, a small fjord in the center of the tufaceous boulder on which side the village dominated by the Aragonese Castle erected in the second half of the 15th century by Ferdinando I d’Aragona as well as the Marina, a pretty seaside resort as well as nightclubs.
