Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Rossa (Sicily island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Rossa (Sicily island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Rossa for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This beach is on the smaller side, with rocky terrain and breathtaking scenery. There is a boat club nearby, but there are also stairs leading down to the public beach. Public parking is available off the road, just a short walk away. In the morning, the sun shines directly on the sea, creating a gorgeous turquoise hue. While the water access is pleasant, it is important to note that the beach is rocky.

My brother and I took a stroll from our vacation home to Spiaggia Cala Rossa. The beach is stunning, but it's not sandy, only rocky. If you plan on swimming, don't forget to bring water shoes. However, be prepared to walk down a long flight of stairs to reach the beach. There's a lovely venue on the beach, but it's only available for parties, particularly weddings. The owner of the venue was cleaning up the beach due to the amount of plastic and trash that ended up in this charming little bay. Unfortunately, the beach isn't wheelchair-friendly, except for the entrance through the venue. Before descending to the bay, you'll need to park on the other side of the road.
