Spectacular not crowded compared with other beaches in the surroundings. Crystal and sand clean. Easy access to the from the ( no cost). There is a beside the but too expensive under my point of view (15 EUR). Small bar to eat a sandwich and have some beers. In general a great choice for this part of the island. Lovely in a natural reserve. The is clear and super clean, in some bits you have sand and in other stones, so I would suggest going early so that you can choose the best spot for you. There is also a little you can do on the cliff that bring you to a more hidden bit of coast. Some brave were doing amazing jumps from there straight in the sea. The is €20 or if you prefer you can leave the car a but further away and to the beach. There is also a bar and some showers you can use. What I didn’t like was seeing throwing their garbage on the floor and in the street even tho this is a protected area. Wonderful and pretty natural beach, which is very popular with the locals. Definitely check out the cliffs to the south of the main sandy beach, which offer stunning views above the bluest sea and crumbling cliffs. At the north end of the beach, you can usually find a place on the small rocks, even in the busiest days. There is a bathroom with showers for those that pay for a wristband at the entrance. Expect to pay 15-20€ for 2 for and a wristband during a weekend. Fantastica riserva naturale. La si scopre con l'utilizzo di google maps perché non è segnalata a sufficienza. Merica la visita e il bagno. Beautiful sandy with clear blue water, located in a nature reserve. To get to the you have to take a small road that leads to a tunnel beneath the road. It can be a bit tricky to find, but it's well it. Great experience! Beautiful natural beach. Family and I visited a little after "off-season". We paid €15 for parking. Gorgeous turquoise water. Climbed the nearby cliff for a wonderful view. Highly recommend! Don't hesitate to visit if you stay in Avola. Completely worth. No entrance fee. You could visit there by bike from Avola. Working shower booths were so convenient. Beautiful landscape and not crowded. Highly recommended this place! Turquoise and very clean water. A bit busy but still coming. Lots of places to explore around. You can park on the street close by (5-10 min walk) for and walk. Otherwise is €20 which is ridiculous. Oasi Gelsomineto reserves one of the best corners of nature and sea all together! I think it can be one of the best beaches I visited in my 2 weeks in South of Italy. However, the negative part is the parking, 15 Euro per day, making the place rather exlensive just to leave the car nearby. However, it deserves the visit. Waren im Mai in der Nebensaison dort. Absoluter Traumstrand im Naturschutzgebiet. Parkplatz war noch geschlossen. Parkten gratis neben Hauptstraße. Fab place to escape the massis (tip, go down to the end of the and keep going, towards the river, there you can relax on the sand with less around! The only con is that to go into the there are some rocks, but definitely the extra space!) Parking is easy and although 15 euro weekdays and 20 euro weekends might sound steep, it really isn't when you realise you can stay the entire day at such an amazing place! And the car park feels safe so that is a great bonus! (if you have a low car, be careful getting down off the main road however) Amazing ⛱️ the and the sand, everything was just perfect. 20 euros per car to access the and the beach. A hidden gem! Beautiful blue and easily accessible by car (there is even about a 10 minute away). There was a small stall with your typical gear: umbrellas, inflatables etc. but no official services (not something we necessarily mind, but something to consider if you do). Beautiful public and clean water. Beautiful view from the cliffs en you can jump from it. Paid about 10m from the or Park your car from 400m distance for free. There is 1 small shop in the middle and the showers are available as well. Very nice hippie- like beach, outside the season a true wild jewel, during the season I suppose it would be very crowded. No bars, no restaurants, no chairs, the right place for an old school seaside picnic....all nature! This place is a paradise but pity that some scam begs seat at the front of the entrance to ask you 15 euros to park your car in a absolutely and public area, they do it because they just want easy money, absolutely disgusting to ruin such a nice experience you could have. Drive few metres ahead from the entrance on the main road and you’ll find a road with parking.. but go early as it fills up quickly and please don’t pay these just find another way to park the car. Beautiful beach. We were here on the off season so it was deserted. Soft sand blue and clean. It is a little tricky to get to but well the short walk. Horrible experience. We were robbed at the lot on August 23, 2025. They took our backpacks , laptop , jewelry, passports , wallet- all gone . We made a police report and the police told us that at this place they steal and break into cars all the time. I asked where are the security cameras then? Nobody has the answers…There are No security cameras and no accountability for anything. The “private parking” lot is an organized Sicilian mafia type of , they all call each other to let them know where tourists are and which car they came . We told the police about this and they do not care, nor did they went back to check and investigate . Just a horrible environment where they target tourists. I told the USA embassy about this , hopefully they can announced it at the state department website. But after all this experience from HELL- I will not be back to Sicily, do not care about you and treat you horribly. If they could they would steal everything from you! It’s a shame because the place was beautiful but with such a hostile environment it’s not it. Especially that you get no help if something happens to you. Very backward environment. La mia spiaggia preferita vicino Siracusa! Spettacolare pure la passeggiata lungo la scogliera. Bisogna parcheggiare prima di arrivare all' entrata se si vuole risparmiare 20€ di parcheggio... Bisogna camminare 5 minuti in più ma almeno non paghi Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
