Choosing a week-long holiday at Baia del Sole Village means you already have the convenience of a private beach just a stone's throw from your accommodation, but the Ragusa coast also offers several other stretches of sand well worth discovering during your stay. Here's a small guide to nearby beaches, perfect for those who want to mix things up for a few days.
Punta Secca, between Montalbano and the sea
A few kilometres from Marina di Ragusa, Punta Secca is one of the most well-known seaside resorts on the Hyblaean coast, also made famous by the filming of the Inspector Montalbano series, set precisely in the characteristic tower that overlooks the beach. The stretch of golden sand is ideal for those seeking a mix of sea, seafront walks, and a touch of cinematic atmosphere.
Casuzze, the tranquil beach
Not far from Punta Secca lies Casuzze, a more secluded and less crowded coastal hamlet, perfect for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. The wide, sandy beach is particularly popular with families due to its shallow, sloping seabed, which is also convenient for younger children.
Scoglitti, golden sand and fishing harbour
Continuing west, you reach Scoglitti, a seaside village with a still-active fishing port and a long, golden sandy beach. In addition to the sea, Scoglitti offers the chance to taste the freshest fish in the seafront restaurants and, nearby, to visit the archaeological site of Kamarina, for those who want to combine a day at the beach with a touch of history.
How to get from the village to the nearby beaches
All these locations are reachable by car in just a few minutes from Villaggio Baia del Sole, following the coast westwards along the coastal road. It’s also a route that’s well-suited for cycling for those who like to get around independently, alternating beach stops with short scenic breaks along the way.
