Sant'Elia - all beaches

We were charged 18 euros for a 2-hour visit, but unfortunately, the staff failed to inform us about this beforehand. Additionally, the prices displayed were outdated. The staff was not honest in their communication.

This beachfront property offers exceptional lodging and a stunning beach, where the owners and staff provide warm hospitality and exceptional service. The serene atmosphere and comprehensive amenities make it a peaceful retreat for individuals and families alike. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this destination for a tranquil seaside escape.

This beach is a true gem. The crystal-clear water is perfect for families with little ones as it's not too deep in the beginning. While there are some rocky areas, the majority of the beach is smooth and sandy. The picturesque surroundings are truly breathtaking and make for a truly unforgettable experience. There are also two charming cafes where you can grab a quick bite or refreshing drink. However, be prepared for the crowds during the summer months. For those seeking a prime spot, arriving early in the morning is highly recommended. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone seeking a tranquil and picturesque escape.

Wow

The private beach at the Torre Normanna hotel is a pleasant and welcoming spot. Access is typically via the hotel elevator, but during my stay, it was out of service. Fortunately, the driver provided a bus ride to the gate. Hotel guests can enjoy complimentary kayaks, SUP paddles, and chilled water from the fridge. The ambiance is enhanced by gentle background music, umbrellas, and deckchairs. The only downside is the absence of a bar, so you can only chill your own alcohol. P.S. There is a hole in the fence a few dozen meters below the bend in the road, which allows easy access. There were no issues with the presence of non-guests.

This charming sand beach is a hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. While the journey to reach it may be a bit challenging, the reward of pristine shores and crystal-clear waters is worth the effort. It's a shame there isn't a snack bar on site, but the seclusion and tranquility of this spot more than make up for it. Overall, a solid three out of five.
