Taormina
With its gorgeous beaches with white pebbles and clear turquoise waters, Taormina is arguably one of the best beach towns in Sicily. The city’s located on a hilltop on Sicily’s eastern coast, an incredibly picturesque setting, ideal for those who fancy driving and boat trips. Besides its exceptional natural sights, Taormina also offers countless more attractions including ancient sites like the famous Teatro Greco, stunning displays of Baroque architecture, and a charming cultural life that includes lovely boutiques and amazing restaurants. It’s definitely one of Sicily’s treasures and a fantastic choice for a beach holiday.
Here are some of our favorite beaches in Taormina:
Playa de Isola Bella
Playa de Isola Bella, in a small island right off Taormina, is one of the most beautiful and alluring corners not just in the city but in all of Sicily. It’s a pebbled beach that features awe-striking crystal-clear waters and amazing views of the sunset from the top of its marvelous cliffs. Visitors delight not just in Isola Bella’s picturesque views but also in the culinary offering at the many restaurants and bars in the area. Paddle surfing and snorkeling are some of the activities that are available at the beach.
Spiaggia La Pigna
An exclusive beach located between two majestic capes, Spiaggia La Pigna rewards its visitors with bright golden sand and unbeatable spots where to sunbathe and relax. It’s very conveniently connected to the Taormina city center via cable car and features a host of great services including showers, changing rooms, and a wonderful restaurant serving traditional Sicilian dishes.
