Beautiful beach near Noto, Sicily

Hi,

We are in Noto and are looking for a beautiful beach to spend the day.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It’s really easy.

There’s a nature reserve just to the south of Noto called Vendicari. It has four beaches, three small ones with quite difficult access and one larger beach which is about the best beach in the island as far I’m concerned. On the sweeping beach there is a ruined tuna factory and behind there is a lagoon which is home to wading birds, migratory raptors and flamingo.

During the week it is quiet and a lovely place to be to,

Enjoy Noto. We were so happy with our stay there.

By the way, take all supplies with you.

This is a nature reserve and you will not find sun lounger vendors, ice cream kiosks etc

I’m not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

if you do want services, I really don’t like Lido do Noto but further North, Fontane Bianchi is OK.

The nature reserve looks and sounds great. We were lazier and went to Agua Beach. Nice, clean facilities.

We also loved Noto. We stayed 4 nights, using it as a base, including a day and three dinners in Noto itself.

Hi to all,

I didn't get your recommendations in time so we spent the day at Playa Carratois, about 30 km south of Noto.

Great facilities, soft sand and warm clear waters. Just beautiful.

We are spending 4 nights just outside Noto in a Villa, enjoying Noto and the surrounding area. We had spent three nights in Scicli before arriving here and adored that town as well, and, while there, also spent time visiting Modica, which was also wonderful.

Thanks for all of your help. I do appreciate it.

Yes, the Vendicari beaches are excellent. If you stay in the Agriturismo (good food!) between the Vendicari beaches and the Villa with the (Casale like) roman mosaics, you will get beach umbrellas for free.
