Sicily: these are the 5 most beautiful beaches in Agrigento and surroundings

In addition to the beautiful Valley of the Temples (not surprisingly, one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in Sicily), culture, history and good food, this city also offers a wonderful sea, large beaches and spectacular cliffs. Sand or rocks, uncrowded, wild and unspoiled or equipped with all services, for lone travellers or families with children… The beaches of Agrigento, Sicily, can satisfy everyone! And here are the five most beautiful ones.

Scala dei Turchi

The first on the list can only be it, one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily. It is located near Porto Empedocle, in the province of Agrigento, and is a simply spectacular beach: it is characterized by a long white cliff that the wind and the sea have shaped, until it takes the form of a staircase. A true spectacle of nature!

Eraclea Minoa

Located between the Platani river and the Capo Bianco promontory, it offers six kilometres of coastline that will really leave you breathless. The sand is very fine and white, the sea is crystal-clear. The added value? The wild pine forest that surrounds it.

Torre Salsa

Torre Salsa beach is a large protected natural area, about 13-kilometre-long, which is part of the regional nature reserve. It alternates high rocks with intimate coves and is ideal for those who want to spend time immersed in nature, and for diving enthusiasts.

San Leone

We are talking about Agrigento’s “city beach”. A long golden expanse of sand, ideal for families during the day and for young people at night: beaches, bars, kiosks and nightlife enliven this area day and night.

Bova Marina

This wonderful beach is located in the municipality of Montallegro and is characterized by colours: the blue of the sea, the gold of the sand, the green of the pine forest and the white of the Capo Bianco promontory. A part of the beach is equipped with bars and restaurants, while another part is unspoiled and extremely relaxing.
