Interesting facts
1

The coastal area is situated near the ancient Greek colony of Kamarina, founded by Syracusans in 598 BC.

2

The water clarity is supported by the relatively low density of urban development along this specific stretch of the Scoglitti shoreline.

3

The geological structure of the coastline features calcarenite rock formations typical of the Hyblean plateau.

4

This region is a recognized nesting site for the Caretta caretta sea turtle, which occasionally deposits eggs in the local sand dunes.

Overview

Le Spiaggette is a series of secluded coves located along the coast of Scoglitti in the Ragusa province. These small, sandy beaches are characterized by shallow, clear waters and are separated by natural rocky formations. The area is part of the broader Mediterranean coastline near the archaeological site of Kamarina. Access is primarily achieved by walking along the rugged shoreline path. The coastline here is distinct for its fine golden sand and absence of large-scale commercial tourist infrastructure. It remains a popular spot for locals seeking quieter bathing areas away from the main town beach.

Insider tips

Bring sturdy footwear, as the path to the coves involves navigating rocky, uneven terrain.

Carry your own water and supplies, as there are no kiosks or services located directly on the individual coves.

Visit during low wind conditions to avoid the Mediterranean 'scirocco' that can increase sand drift on the exposed beach areas.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to park vehicles directly on the sand or dunes, as the area is protected and parking fines are strictly enforced.

Etiquette

Practice 'leave no trace' by packing out all personal waste; nudity is not permitted.
