Whoever gazes at Marina di Camerota, is carried away into a fantastic world, in which every thing is a work of art, a sweeping and indelible emotion which strikes the senses. The incontaminate beauty of Marina di Camerota attracts every year tourists from several localities; and year after year all touirst return.
The heavenly beaches, the thin sands, the cristall-clear waters, the creeks, the ravines, a dream of caves, grant to Marina di Camerota the appellation of “Pearl of Cilento“.
This Pearl lies in a tract of coast between two little promontories, which are surmounted by Saracenic towers and surrounded by olivetrees. A little, paved church-square is situated in the middle of town. An ancient castle rises in the south-east side of the town; some time ago the castle belonged to a marquis.
Marina di Camerota was at the beginning a fishing village, but it became larger in consequence of junction with surrouncling population. The coast of Marina has various shapes: it’s low and sandy, aswell as high and rocky, and it has suggestive natural hollows. The prehistoric caves are well-known internationally because of the archaeologic discovery of “Homo Camerotaensis”.
The protrusions and the indentatinons of the coast, the luxuriant vegetation, together with the caves and the beaches, create places with an oneiric suggestion: Cala Fortuna, Cala Monte di Luna, le Sirene, Cala del Cefalo, la Pineta del Mingardo, (which is the seat of a naturalistic park on account of its plenty of naturalistic beauties).
