Canalicchio - all beaches

While it may not be the most exceptional beach (don't expect anything like the Maldives here...), it does offer a fantastic opportunity for a final dive during your visit to Syracuse. Don't forget to bring your towels, as there are convenient fresh water showers available on-site!

The beach in Ortigia and its surrounding area is a one-of-a-kind and pleasant spot for swimming. However, it tends to get quite crowded with rocks during the warmer months. Despite that, it's still worth checking out if you happen to be in the heat. The sunbathing area on the rocks and the water were also relatively clean, which is quite uncommon for beaches in Italy/Sicily.

The beach is quite expensive and unfortunately, the ocean is infested with seaweed.

The beach is quite lovely, albeit a bit crowded. Unfortunately, there is some litter on the sand, despite the presence of numerous trash bins. However, the water is refreshing and clear, making it a great spot for a dip.

This beach is a hidden gem, teeming with fish and boasting an incredible shoreline.

The public section of the beach is lined with dark brown/black seaweed, making it difficult for young children to access the water for paddling. In contrast, the private beaches nearby do not have this issue. It seems unfair that only the public area is affected by the seaweed. The far end of the beach, which is also public, does not have the seaweed problem but is slightly smaller in size.
