About this site
Franata Del Marchese lies along the Cilento coast near Marina di Camerota, in the province of Salerno, within the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park. This stretch of the Tyrrhenian shoreline is marked by limestone cliffs, grottoes, and rocky points, with the site reached by boat from the town's harbor. Divers here have reported a mix of encrusting and reef life including Mediterranean red coral, yellow gorgonians, cushion and star corals, sunset cup corals, yellow cluster anemones, and Atlantic purple sea urchins along the rock.
