The 3 Best beaches in Casamicciola Terme

The northern coast of Casamicciola Terme harbors some of the most fascinating beaches on the entire island of Ischia, where crystal-clear seas blend with natural thermal springs creating a landscape unique in the world. These three bays represent the perfect synthesis between seaside relaxation and thermal wellness, offering visitors unrepeatable beach experiences.

Unlike the more crowded beaches on the southern side of the island, Casamicciola’s bays maintain a more intimate and authentic character, ideal for those seeking tranquility without sacrificing services and comfort. The strategic position along the north coast also offers breathtaking panoramas of the Gulf of Naples and unforgettable sunsets.

1. Marina beach: The seaside living room

Marina Beach represents the heart of Casamicciola Terme’s seaside life, located right in front of the characteristic waterfront and tourist port. This elegant beach of fine, dark sand, typical of volcanic coasts, stretches for about 300 meters offering ample spaces and quality services.

Marina’s uniqueness lies in its urban yet secluded position: despite being in the town center, the beach maintains a relaxed and familiar atmosphere. The waters are particularly calm and transparent, protected from prevailing winds thanks to the natural conformation of the bay.

The beach is perfectly equipped with beach clubs offering sunbeds, umbrellas, bars and restaurants directly on the sand. During summer months, Marina comes alive with evening events and sunset aperitivos, becoming the meeting point of Casamicciola’s social life.

A unique characteristic of the beach is the presence of small underwater fumaroles that, in some spots, naturally warm the seawater. This natural thermal phenomenon allows for relaxing baths even during cooler seasons.

Beach access is free, while beach club services have accessible prices. The proximity to the center allows easy walking access from the main hotels and restaurants in town.

2. Bagnitiello: The hidden thermal oasis

Bagnitiello Beach represents a true hidden gem of the Casamicciola coast, located in the eastern part of the municipality, toward the border with Ischia Porto. This small rocky bay owes its name to the ancient natural thermal pools carved into volcanic rock by hot spring sources.

Bagnitiello is famous for being one of the few natural thermal beaches still accessible on Ischia. The thermal springs that flow directly into the sea create small natural pools with temperatures varying from 35°C to 45°C (95°F to 113°F), perfect for relaxing and therapeutic baths in every season.

The beach is characterized by a predominantly rocky coast with small coves of dark sand and pebbles. The environment is wilder than Marina, ideal for those seeking a more authentic experience in contact with nature. The waters are crystalline and an intense emerald green color, typical of marine thermal zones.

Bagnitiello is particularly appreciated by snorkeling enthusiasts: the rocky seabeds hide rich marine fauna and, for the more experienced, it’s possible to explore the submerged archaeological remains of ancient Aenaria, the Roman settlement that was located in this area.

Beach access requires a short walk along a panoramic path starting from the coastal road. There are no organized beach facilities, but this “wild” characteristic represents the main charm of the place. It’s advisable to bring water and snacks, as well as suitable shoes for walking on rocks.

3. Perrone beach: The family bay

Located in the western part of Casamicciola, toward the border with Lacco Ameno, Perrone Beach represents the ideal solution for families with children. This wide sandy bay offers shallow, calm waters, protected from winds and marine currents.

Perrone Beach stands out for its very fine dark gray sand, mixed with small pumice fragments that make the seabed particularly soft. The water slopes gently, allowing children to play safely while adults can relax on the wide sandy expanses.

The bay’s strategic position offers exceptional panoramic views: to the east you can admire the entire Gulf of Naples with Vesuvius in the background, while to the west the view extends to the coast of Procida and the Phlegraean Fields. Sunsets from Perrone are considered among the most beautiful on all of Ischia.

The beach is equipped with several beach clubs offering complete services for families: children’s play areas, pedal boat and canoe rentals, bars and restaurants with typical Ischia cuisine. During summer, entertainment activities and water sports are organized.

A peculiarity of Perrone is the presence of small thermal springs that surface on the shoreline at some points of the beach. These “eyes” of hot water create small natural pools where it’s possible to take thermal baths directly on the sand, a unique experience that combines sea and thermalism.

The beach is easily reachable by public transport thanks to the bus stop that connects all the island’s municipalities. It also has ample parking, both free and paid, convenient for those arriving with their own car.

The unique characteristics of thermal beaches

What makes Casamicciola’s beaches unique is the extraordinary combination between sea and thermalism. The island’s volcanic nature means that thermal spring sources flow at various points along the coast, mixing with seawater and creating bathing areas with a particular microclimate.

This natural phenomenon offers unique therapeutic benefits: seawater enriched with thermal minerals has soothing properties for the skin, relaxing for muscles, and beneficial for circulation. Bathing in these special waters is particularly indicated for those suffering from rheumatic, dermatological, or stress-related problems.

The water temperature in marine thermal zones remains higher than normal sea, allowing the bathing season to extend from May to October. This aspect makes Casamicciola’s beaches particularly appreciated by Northern European tourists, accustomed to colder sea temperatures.

Services and accessibility

All three Casamicciola beaches are easily accessible and well connected to the town center. The proximity to the tourist port allows reaching the bays on foot, while local bus service guarantees regular connections throughout the day.

Regarding services, Marina offers the greatest variety of facilities and restaurants, while Perrone is ideal for families thanks to children-dedicated services. Bagnitiello, despite being wilder, represents a unique experience for nature and natural thermalism lovers.

Water quality is constantly monitored and certified, guaranteeing high bathing standards. The beaches are also easily reachable from all Casamicciola accommodations, making them the ideal choice for a complete seaside and thermal vacation.

Visit tips

The best period to enjoy Casamicciola’s beaches runs from May to October, with water temperatures remaining pleasant thanks to thermal springs. September and October are particularly recommended for those seeking tranquility and more accessible prices.

For a complete experience, we recommend visiting all three beaches during your stay: Marina for social life and services, Bagnitiello for the natural thermal experience, and Perrone for family relaxation and sunsets. Each bay offers unique characteristics that contribute to making your vacation in Casamicciola Terme unforgettable.
