Beach in Taormina & the east

Beaches, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints and markets — the things worth building days around. Nothing here is booked on this page: each one says what it is and how long people spend there, then points at the stays and tours in the same area.

Isola Bella bay

A small wooded islet joined to the shore by a shingle spit that appears and disappears with the sea, in a bay below the town. Reached by cable car and a walk down. Pebbles rather than sand, and clear water — bring something for your feet.
