Catania - all beaches

The stone beach is really nice, with crystal clear water and great facilities.

The water was crystal clear and refreshing, however, the sandy shore was littered with an abundance of trash. While I comprehend that this is a communal beach, the overwhelming amount of debris was unsettling.

The beach is truly remarkable, provided that the water is free of seaweed, jellyfish, and plastic. Fortunately, the situation has improved significantly, thanks to the hard work of the dedicated staff. I visited Spiaggia Libera 1 today, but it was an utter disappointment. I recommend opting for the free beaches 2 or 3 instead, as they are located farther from the city and harbor, resulting in cleaner water and sand.

Nice beach with stones

This beach is the best beach I have ever been to in my life. There is a grove of eucalyptus trees behind the beach, but it has unfortunately been damaged by the winter storms. The Regia Trazzera di San Marco beach offers a mix of free beach areas and lidos, although not all of them are accessible to people with disabilities. The free beach is very spacious. However, this year there are no services such as showers and platforms for easy access to the beach due to some issues with the municipalities, as the area is owned by the state. The beach has plenty of free parking available, although the road conditions are not the best because of the tides. The beautiful colors of the sea and the peaceful atmosphere make it definitely worth a visit.

The beach wasn't bad, considering the conditions provided, and the price was fair.
