It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Spiaggia Diana nel Forte you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own.

In most cases, the question What to do on Spiaggia Diana nel Forte implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

One of my absolute favorite places in the world! During our trip to Sicily for my 50th birthday, my wife and I spent a few days in the area. While exploring, we stumbled upon this enchanting rock where people were casually changing out of their regular clothes to take a refreshing swim in the stunning cobalt sea. Some were wearing bathing suits, while others simply went in with whatever they had on underneath, and it didn't seem to matter at all. We even witnessed a man in a business suit undress down to his speedo, dive into the water, swim a considerable distance, and then air-dry before getting dressed and heading back to work. Now that's what I call achieving a perfect work-life balance!

The bay is great for swimming, but it's quite rocky, so it's advisable to bring rock shoes for added comfort.

The beach in Ortigia and its surrounding area is a one-of-a-kind and pleasant spot for swimming. However, it tends to get quite crowded with rocks during the warmer months. Despite that, it's still worth checking out if you happen to be in the heat. The sunbathing area on the rocks and the water were also relatively clean, which is quite uncommon for beaches in Italy/Sicily.

My wife and I have recently arrived in Italy and this beach has been a wonderful way to start our trip. Our Airbnb is conveniently located just a short distance from this beach. The water here is refreshing, tranquil, and transparent, making it ideal for swimmers of all abilities. Although seating options are limited, you can confidently leave your belongings on the shore while you take a dip in the water.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Spiaggia Diana nel Forte (Siracusa) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Spiaggia Diana nel Forte (Siracusa) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Spiaggia Diana nel Forte for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
