Licosa is a southern Italian village and hamlet (frazione) of Castellabate, a municipality in the province of Salerno, Campania.

A legend says that Leucosia was one of the three mythological sirens met by Ulysses in the Odyssey.

In 846 it was the site of a naval battle between the Saracens and the Duchy of Naples with allies.

Licosa's territory belongs to the National Park of Cilento and its coastline, characterized by the flysch rocks, is part of the marine protected area of Santa Maria di Castellabate.

[7] The territory, far from urban settlements, is surrounded by maquis shrubland (macchia) and forest.
