Playa di Catania, Public beach in Catania, Italy
The Playa di Catania extends for 18 kilometers along the eastern Sicilian coast, featuring a wide strip of golden sand and clear Mediterranean waters.
The development of Playa di Catania as a public beach began in the mid-20th century, transforming the natural coastline into an organized recreational space.
Local residents gather at the beach during summer evenings for outdoor concerts, cultural events, and the annual Revolution Day celebration on May 1st.
The beach offers multiple sections with paid facilities including umbrella rentals, while three designated areas remain free and open for public access.
Mount Etna creates a geological contrast as its dark volcanic silhouette rises above the golden sandy beach, visible from every point along the shore.
