Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Ox 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 Ox 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 Ox 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.

It's amazing! You can only reach this beach by boat. The water is so clear and the place is absolutely pristine! Seriously, if you happen to have a small boat and you're in this area, it's definitely worth paying a visit!

There's this beach, we'll call it Ghost Beach, that you can find along the road to Patti. It's not exactly a walk in the park to reach it on foot, as you have to navigate a steep path. I wouldn't suggest it for those who aren't experienced hikers or have young children. Unfortunately, there's no designated parking area, just a small space where only one car can fit. My recommendation is to arrive by boat, as the beach is truly stunning.

This beach is absolutely stunning. After locating the parking lot, a narrow yet easily accessible path guides you to the beach. Throughout the entire day, we had the entire stretch of beach, spanning approximately 200 meters, all to ourselves. It was an invaluable experience, truly priceless. This beach is the epitome of the best life!

This beach is an insider tip. I had the whole place to myself, there were no other people around. There are only 1-2 parking spaces available in front of the tunnel, and it's about a 100-meter walk down to the beach.

This beach is a hidden gem in the area. It's not very crowded, mostly because it's a bit challenging to reach. However, it's not impossible, and anyone can follow the path down from the main road. The only issue is finding parking for your car since it's not easily accessible. There are only a few spots available along the road. If you're fortunate enough, you might have the beach all to yourself, making it definitely worth a visit!
