It is the traditional site of the sea monster Scylla of Greek mythology. The town, 22 kilometres from the city of Reggio, lies at the northern end of the strait of Messina, and is composed of two parts: the downtown, where the town offices and the residence of the patron saint are situated, and Marina di Scilla, the beach-front, populated by tourists and thus heavily characterized by hotels and restaurants. Its beach is the first place north of Reggio Calabria where the waters are not cooled by the strait currents.
