Cannon Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Belvedere del Cannoni: Park with wonderful views and seating. A narrow, steep path leads down to a small, impressive rocky bay with a sandy beach.

The lighthouse itself is not particularly spectacular - and is cordoned off - but the view from the rocks and the nearby Terrazza Panoramica of the Strait of Messina and the Aeolian Islands is simply breathtaking.

Ecomuseum The Sea Museum Entrance

Highlight • Monument

Located in the former viewpoint of Capo Vaticano, it is surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and offers a panoramic view of the Aeolian Islands. The place summarizes the man-sea relationship experienced and livable in our territory. Divided into five exhibition rooms, the museum includes the history of the Roman traps found on the coast of Vibo (Briatico: S. Irene and La Rocchetta) and the nineteenth-century traps in operation until the first decades of the last century, as well as a room where some equipment used for fishing is displayed. A path with educational panels leads the visitor to learn more about marine biology through the exhibition of shells and remains of marine animals.

Ruins With Sea View

Highlight • Historical Site

Not really a highlight, just a dilapidated house on the street. Probably still used as a drinks warehouse.
