Mazzaro beach

Mazzaro is a shingle beach set in a cove beneath tall cliffs with clear turquoise water. The beach sits below Taormina and offers views across the rocky coastline toward the open sea.

The beach became known to international travelers in the 1950s as word spread about this hidden cove. Since then it has remained a destination for visitors from around the world.

Fishing boats are anchored in the bay, showing how fishing has shaped life in this small cove for generations. The boats and their owners remain woven into the daily rhythm of the beach.

The beach can be reached by cable car from Taormina or on foot via a steep path, with the cable car being the easier option. Early morning visits offer fewer crowds and calmer water conditions.

The rock formations create small pools and crevices along the beach where calmer swimming spots form naturally. These sheltered areas are especially popular with families traveling with young children.
