Sampieri is a fishing village, of nineteenth-century origin. It is set two small promontories that identify a wide sandy bay that extends from the town in the west to the Pisciotto in the east, the spur on which stand the ruins of the Fornace Penna, symbol of the village, site of industrial archeology, where until the beginning of the twentieth century bricks were produced and exported.

Just west of Sampieri and up to the village of Cava d'Aliga is the suburban park of Costa di Carro, a few kilometers of rocky coast but with a small beach set between the cliffs just adjacent to the village and known as “Beach” from which our campsite takes its name.
