White sand beach in Zambrone

White sand beach in Zambrone is an NW-facing beach break in Vibo Valentia, Calabria, Italy. It picks up swell from W and WNW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 89% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SE: light winds or SE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NW onshores chop it up.
