Licola Beach is a stretch of sand on the Tyrrhenian coast just northwest of Naples, in Campania, Italy. It sits on the mainland near the towns of Pozzuoli and Giugliano, facing open water from the Gulf of Naples.

For surfing, Licola is generally a beach break with sandy bottom, which makes it more forgiving than reef or point breaks. The spot tends to work best when winter or late-autumn swells push into the coast, especially with winds that keep the surface clean. Conditions can vary a lot depending on sand movement, so the shape of the waves changes over time.

Typical characteristics: - Wave type: Beach break - Bottom: Sand - Best swell: Autumn to winter storms - Wind preference: Light offshore or calm - Ability level: Often suitable for beginners to intermediate surfers, depending on size and conditions

Like many Italian mainland beach breaks, Licola is usually highly weather-dependent rather than a consistently powerful surf destination. It can offer fun, short-session waves when the sea state lines up, but it’s not known for long, heavy, or highly reliable surf.
