Spiaggia dei Maronti

About Spiaggia dei Maronti

A long stretch of dark volcanic sand and small stones below the cliffs of Barano on Ischia's south coast. The gritty volcanic sand frosts the glass well. Collectors say it rewards quantity rather than rarities, so walk the full length.

Sea glass at Spiaggia dei Maronti

Lots of white, green and amber glass along the whole beach.

Visiting Spiaggia dei Maronti

Getting there

Bus 5 from Ischia Porto serves one end; water taxis run from Sant'Angelo.

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
