Hi David,

The closest beach to Catania is the “playa di Catania”.
It’s a very long beach in the South of Catania and the only one sandy beach around the city. However, it’s clearly not the nicest beach of Sicily!

You can also find other beaches (not sand) around Aci Trezza and Acireale, North of Catania.
But, again the environment is not very nice.

Honestly, if you want to enjoy beautiful beaches, Catania is not the best place to stay.
You will have to go around Taormina (50 min by car from Catania) or around Siracusa and the South of Sicily (Avola etc..)

If you have any other question, don’t hesitate to ask me.
Enjoy your stay in Catania and Sicily!

Can you recommend a good beach (or beaches) close to Catania?

¡Ciao!

David

Hello Suzanne,

From the Piazza del Duomo of Catania, the closest beach is at 30 min on foot.
However, it’s located right next to the harbor and it’s not very nice.
If you want to go to a nicer beach, you will have to take the bus or rent a car.
