Santa Maria di Castellabate
Santa Maria is the main area of the municipality of Castellabate. Its territory extends it self almost entirely along the coast, offering a spectacular panorama, with the crystal clear sea waters (ideal for every sport activity) and a beautiful coast with ancient buildings falling directly into the sea. The coast alternates gentle and low lines to lovely harbours and wild inlets.
Santa Maria is part of the few coast villages that constitute the elite of the blue flag areas, thanks to its limpid waters and the beautiness of the immaculate and wild landscape.
Internally, this village is characterized by the many small streets that run across it, reaching the sea from a side, and the green hills of the national park from the other. The gracious main street, paved with local stones, runs almost along the entire village and it is ideal for walks and shopping, with all the characteristical little stores selling cloths, souvenirs and local typical products.
The board walk that runs along the sea is very graceful, offering a “post card” scenery. It is the main entertainment place with all the little bars and restaurants that face on it, overlooking the sea and the gold sanded beaches, that alternate with rocks and reef. At the same time, the board walk articulates it self along other different areas, with quiet but spectacular promenades ideal for relaxing walks.
