About Spiaggia del Carrione

An unglamorous free beach at the river mouth beside a container depot, with no sunbeds or facilities. Alongside the glass, rounded pieces of white marble wash down from the Carrara quarries. Building works were reported to be blocking access in early 2025, so check locally.

Sea glass at Spiaggia del Carrione

Loads of mostly frosted white, green and amber glass on the shingle.

Visiting Spiaggia del Carrione

Toilets
No facilities on the beach.
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.

      Nice's pebble shore along the Promenade des Anglais gives up cobalt, green and white sea glass, plus the odd marble, after rough seas.
