During our road trip through southeast Sicily, we visited both Lido di Noto and Marina di Ragusa on separate days, which made it easy to compare the overall experience.
Although Marina di Ragusa has the higher BeachSearcher rating, Lido di Noto ended up being our favourite. We spent a full weekday here in July and loved the relaxed atmosphere. The beach isn’t huge, but it’s well maintained, and the distinctive brownish-orange sand gives it a unique look. I also found the sand noticeably cleaner than at Marina di Ragusa, and the crystal-clear turquoise water was fantastic for swimming. The beach can get busy in summer, but it never felt overcrowded during our visit.
One of the highlights was having lunch at Lido Azzurro Noto – Hosteria del Mare, right on the beach. We had a table in the front of the sea view. Amazing. Great food, beautiful sea views and a relaxed atmosphere made it one of our favourite meals of the trip.
Beautiful can not describe this beach. The water was crystal clear and when all the way out to your waste. The beach was clean and they had a small beach house for free to change ur clothes, outdoor shower and clean bathrooms. For 1eu, you could buy an expresso. There was an entrance fee and rental fee for a beach chair, worth every penny. Went off season mid July.
