Spiaggia del Caos, Sand beach in Porto Empedocle, Italy.
Spiaggia del Caos is a sand beach in Porto Empedocle along the Agrigento coast. The shoreline features golden sand and a gradual slope into the Mediterranean, bordered by limestone cliffs that frame the water.
The beach took on cultural importance through the writer Luigi Pirandello, whose birthplace sits on the promontory overlooking the water. His literary works brought attention to this corner of the Sicilian coast.
The shore connects to the Valley of Temples archaeological park, representing centuries of Greek and Roman influence in the Agrigento region.
The beach sits near Porto Empedocle with several entry points and parking available nearby. You can find food and refreshment options in the surrounding area.
The name "Caos" comes from the chaotically scattered rock formations along the shore that give the beach its distinctive appearance. These unusual stone shapes make the place visually memorable.
