Spiaggia Aspra

Spiaggia Aspra extends from Cape Zafferano to the Eleuterio River mouth, offering fine light sand and Mediterranean plants along the shoreline. Visitors can find both free and managed sections with varying levels of facilities throughout the beach.

The coastal area developed into a seaside destination during the 20th century, with fishing as its original foundation. The bay gradually transformed while maintaining its connection to traditional fishing practices.

Fishing boats are a regular sight here, and nearby restaurants prepare food with fish caught in the bay. The connection between the sea and local dining remains strong and visible to visitors.

The beach has parking areas and multiple access points from town, with rentals available in managed sections. Early morning visits offer fewer crowds and a chance to see fishing boats returning to shore.

Small fishing boats line the shore each morning, and visitors can buy fresh fish directly from fishermen as they return. This daily practice makes the beach a working fishing port rather than just a recreation area.
