We were staying right at this beach here for five nights in our holiday home…read more It is a very quiet beach, on weekdays around 10 - 20 visitors with their chairs. On weekends it gets a bit more popular, maybe around 100 people. Including the ones renting their chairs from the Piper Bar (which is not great). But most visitors bring their gear. It is a beautiful little beach, clean water and clean sand as well. After 7pm it gets really quiet and you almost got the place for yourself. A good moment for dog-owners to play with their furry friends (we did as well bring our dog - just clean up after him/her). There aren't any facilities on site, except for the Beach Bar. Parking spots are plenty and free. It is also a safe place, even at night. It's in a quiet, peaceful little village. A popular spot is the "umbrella" with palm tree leaves, right in front at the beach where the waves brake. It gets taken fast, so get up early if you want that spot. We enjoyed this beach very much, especially in the evenings and on weekdays. Depending on the weather it can be quite windy, even in high season. And the water is pretty cold. But still...a real hidden gem. And you can enjoy the sun setting over the ocean daily.

Great for kids. The low tide is great for toddlers. 15 Euro for two chairs and umbrella.read more

What a wonderful experience at Lounge Beach at Scala dei Turchi! We arrived before lunch service…read moreand enjoyed a lovely glass of rosé while relaxing on the lounge sofas overlooking the beach. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Lunch was outstanding--we especially loved the Caprese salad and pasta--but what truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. Every member of the team was attentive, friendly, and genuinely focused on making our experience memorable. A special mention goes to the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine list. We are quite particular about our wines and especially enjoy California-style Chardonnays, which can be difficult to find in Sicily. He took the time to understand our preferences and recommended the perfect bottle. The combination of outstanding food, impeccable service, and the breathtaking setting--with views of the sea and the magnificent Scala dei Turchi--made for an unforgettable afternoon. Everything was exactly what we had hoped for. Highly recommended!

Being a highly sought after tourist spot, I had higher hopes for Scala de Turchi, the Stair of the…read moreTurks. They are white cliffs, but weren't necessarily anything extra special. Apparently this is a high tourist spot due to the cliffs being mentioned in a series of books about Commissario Montalbano. There is a lot of nearby restaurants on the beach, as I am sure this place is extremely busy during the summer/high tourist season. My husband and I weren't overly impressed, so wouldn't say it's a must see spot in Sicily.
