The most meaningful building is the Sanctuary of St. Giuseppe (1836) with its rosy bell tower and with the great round clock which is on all the sides of the bell tower.
The splendid harbour, a place for landing and mooring for hundreds of boats, is dominated in the east by the towering promontory of Santa Margherita Vecchia, which in the 8th century entertained a certain Cenobio Benedettino, and in the west by the high ground of Solchiaro, once a destination chosen by nobles for hunting and beating.
The little harbour, constituted by the crater of a submerged volcano, is characterized by the presence of numerous bars and restaurants that are the evening entertainment for the island - especially in summer.

Historically, seeing as the length of the beach that connects Punta Serra with S. Margherita Vecchia at Chiaiolella is so long, the Procidani have always wanted to distinguish between Ciraccio and Ciracciello, pointing out that Ciracciello is the body of sea adjacent to the waterfront of what is today known as lungomare Cristoforo Colombo. To mark the borders of the two beaches there are two small tuff stacks which were connected to the coast by a natural arch until up to about a year ago. Anyway, all places of the strand offer the visitor a fabulous, romantic sunset over Ischia and Vivara.
