Spiaggia Nera (Cala Jannita) in Maratea pairs dark sand/pebbles with rugged cliffs, making dramatic contrast for coastlines and long-exposure water. Best light is sunrise for soft highlights on the “black” shore; late afternoon brings punchy texture. Expect a small, natural access point—wear grippy shoes and plan for limited parking.
