Great for kids. The low tide is great for toddlers. 15 Euro for two chairs and umbrella.read more

For me, this place was magic! This is the backdrop of the television show, White Lotus season #2,…read moreand the crystal blue waters did not disappoint. This beach is very European, which is to say it's a rock beach, not a sand beach. You can rent chairs and umbrellas. Dependign on the time of year, the water might have jellyfish, so beware as you wade into the surf. The little island, Isola Bella is magical, make sure you tour it.

A MUST when visiting Taormina. I mean, this is the main reason to go - the beach…read more There are a few ways to get there... 1. Take the stairs allllll the way down. It can take 20-30 minutes depending on your fitness level (wear sneakers!) 2. Take the gondola down to the final stop, and understand that you still have to walk some stairs down. It's not ideal for the elderly or those with walking issues. 3. Pull up on your boat! You should have water shoes because this is a rocky beach. No sand. Take your umbrella and chairs. OR, rent some chairs + umbrellas from the various beach clubs along the shore. I think that's the best way to go, because they cleared out their shoreline and it's not at rocky. There are a few vendors on the walk down selling water shoes, hats, and clothes. My girlfriend bought a 10€ hat and it was money worth spent! There are also some pushy salespeople that will try to recruit you to go on a boat excursion, snorkeling, etc. Regardless, do spend at least one day at the beach if you're visiting Taormina. The water is amazing, the views, the photo opps...

We were staying right at this beach here for five nights in our holiday home…read more It is a very quiet beach, on weekdays around 10 - 20 visitors with their chairs. On weekends it gets a bit more popular, maybe around 100 people. Including the ones renting their chairs from the Piper Bar (which is not great). But most visitors bring their gear. It is a beautiful little beach, clean water and clean sand as well. After 7pm it gets really quiet and you almost got the place for yourself. A good moment for dog-owners to play with their furry friends (we did as well bring our dog - just clean up after him/her). There aren't any facilities on site, except for the Beach Bar. Parking spots are plenty and free. It is also a safe place, even at night. It's in a quiet, peaceful little village. A popular spot is the "umbrella" with palm tree leaves, right in front at the beach where the waves brake. It gets taken fast, so get up early if you want that spot. We enjoyed this beach very much, especially in the evenings and on weekdays. Depending on the weather it can be quite windy, even in high season. And the water is pretty cold. But still...a real hidden gem. And you can enjoy the sun setting over the ocean daily.
