Best Secret Beaches in Sicily

 Sicily boasts an array of picturesque beaches, some considered to be the most beautiful of their kind in the Mediterranean. Wherever you are in Sicily, there will be a stunning coastline within easy reach, with beautiful bays, beaches and nature reserves to discover, from the famous 'film set' pebble beaches of Mazzaro and Isola Bella in Taormina to the unspoilt north west Lo Zingaro Nature Reserve and the long white sandy beach with translucent azure sea at San Vito Lo Capo.

Being the largest island in the Mediterranean, the Sicilian coastline varies enormously from north to south and east to west with many 'Secret Beaches'.  However our resident Sicilian 'Aurora' would recommend visiting Spiaggia Pineta del Gelsomineto (image above) on the sea at the mouth of Cavagrande Nature Reserve near the town of Avola on the most undeveloped stretch of coast on the east side of the island.  This beach is tucked away and hard to find but very scenic with the canyon/estuary leading up through the nature reserve also with picturesque rocky beaches at Fonti del Cassibile (image on right).  The sandy beach of Gelsomineta has trees for shade and clear sea ideal for swimming and snorkelling around the rocks.

To visit these beautiful beaches, we would suggest staying at Borgo Alveria Country Resort https://www.justsicily.co.uk/accommodation/9/Borgo-Alveria-Country-Resort/, an ideal base to explore the south east of Sicily and is 13km from Cavagrande Nature Reserve and 25km from Avola.  This boutique hotel has been recreated on the site of an ancient monastery 700m away from the Porta Aurea in the old town of Noto, yet 10km away from today's city in the south eastern countryside of Sicily. Using the ancient stones and historic walls they have created 12 guest rooms and authentic Sicilian restaurant set in natural gardens with a pool surrounded by 19 hectares of countryside. 

Prices with Just Sicily 01202 489040 www.justsicily.co.uk  from £402pp for 7 nights b&b (excluding flights and car hire nearest airport Catania.
