Where to go to the sea
Approx. 45 minutes on foot (3.6 km)
Located a few kilometers south of Catania, San Giovanni Licuti is known for its unique black sand and volcanic rock formations, typical of the volcanic nature of the region. The contrast between the dark sand and the blue sea creates a stunning natural landscape.
During the summer months, a wooden platform is installed to facilitate easy access to the sea. This thoughtful addition helps visitors enjoy the beach comfortably while preserving the natural volcanic terrain.
San Giovanni Licuti offers a more rugged and wild beach experience compared to the Playa, perfect for those who love nature and tranquility away from the city crowds.
