Top 3 Beaches to visit in Sicily

Anyone who has travelled to the south of Italy knows that it is no exaggeration to say that here are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Thinking of the travellers planning a tour in Sicily, we have selected the top 3 Sicilian beaches!

Sicily is a sure-fire destination for those seeking fantastic monuments, history, and culture, but it is impossible to talk about this magical island without talking about the beaches of course: check out all the beachfront villas in Sicily you can rent on WishSicily.

Here there are beaches for all tastes: long coastlines and very well equipped, discreet coves that seem to hide in the Mediterranean vegetation, beaches with sand or pebbles and small coloured stones, accessible by boat or on foot. Choosing the most beautiful or the best of them is impossible, there is an infinity of them and one more fantastic than the other!

Island of Currents

A real magical place in Sicily is the Island of Currents, in Porto Palo di Capo Passero (SR). Located at the southernmost point of Sicily, one of the “islands of the island” bears the name of the meeting point of the two flows flowing into the main one: the first from the Ionian Sea and the second from the Mediterranean Sea.

The meeting of the two seas makes this a wild and uncontaminated place, with a unique charm appreciated especially by surfers. The sand here is golden and the intense blue of the sea offers a charming setting, impossible not to fall in love with!

Rabbit Beach

In Lampedusa, you can find the famous Isola Dei Conigli, also known as Rabbit Beach. This beach is considered by several expert sites as one of the most beautiful in the world and it is not difficult to see why! Requirements for this, of course, are not lacking: crystal clear sea, white sand, fine, and a wild nature that impresses!

The shades of the blue sea create a pleasant game of contrasts with the white of the rocks stained with green. A true paradise connected to the west coast of Lampedusa through a strip of sand only 30 metres long. A beach is a privileged place and this is where the Caretta turtles lay their eggs. It is also an ideal resting place for numerous migratory birds.

Scala Dei Turchi

Near Agrigento (you can visit the Valley of the Temples in the morning and then go to the beach) is one of the most peculiar, spectacular or special beaches of all those in Sicily. Of course, it is not an ordinary beach, so we recommend you to visit it if you can.

Sections of sand with white walls of well-eroded limestone follow one another in the Scala Dei Turchi a place that is at least photogenic. To get to the beach itself you have to walk about 15 minutes. We recommend that you wear sun cream and a cap, as the white of the stone reflects so much sun that it is not difficult to get burned.
