Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Santa Maria beach (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 Santa Maria beach (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 Santa Maria beach 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.

The beach is small and peaceful, with pebbles and crystal-clear waters. It's recommended to wear rock shoes while enjoying the stunning sunsets from this spot. However, parking space is limited.

The water at the beach is so clear that you can see right through it, and the pebbled beach is perfect for walking on with bare feet. However, if you're not used to it, it's advisable to wear sea shoes. The parking situation could be better, but the experience is definitely worth it!

This beach may not be ideal for those who prefer the coziness of soft sand as it has light pebbles to lay on. However, the water is crystal clear and perfect for a full day of swimming.
