The Cilento Coast (Italian: Costiera Cilentana) is an Italian stretch of coastline in Cilento, on the southern side of the Province of Salerno. It is situated between the gulfs of Salerno and Policastro, extending from the municipalities of Capaccio-Paestum in the north-west, to Sapri in the south-east.

It is particularly known for its almost unspoiled natural landscapes and the very high cleanliness of its waters.
There are 16 municipalities composing the coast, but only two (Agropoli and Sapri) are directly located by the Tyrrhenian Sea, and other two (Ascea and Pisciotta) have got their Marinas very close to the towns. Other localities are frazioni of hillside municipalities.
The promontory of Cape Palinuro, nearly at the centre of the Cilentan coast, is a worldwide touristic landmark.
Blue Flag
