Santa Teresa di Riva - all beaches

The beach is well-maintained and tidy, equipped with convenient amenities like showers and recycling bins. However, the only downside is that precisely at 2pm, the sewage waste is released, which is quite repulsive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Movida beach, and the distance from the bus station (a 10-15 minute walk) was definitely worth it. The beach was pleasantly uncrowded, and the sun beds were well-spaced out. It was a refreshing change from the crowded beaches in Taormina. The staff were friendly and courteous, and we were even treated to a complimentary glass of fizzy wine and a delicious dessert after lunch - a brownie with chocolate, cherry, and pistachio sauces/creams.

The lifeguard at the Cute Lido, Francesco, is known as Ciccio and is very polite. However, the owner of the place is incredibly rude, arrogant, and lacks dignity. I managed to control my anger because I was with my wife and kids, but someone as despicable as him deserves to be dealt with seriously, maybe even thrown into the sea to be dealt with by the fish.

This exquisite beach is truly a sight to behold. While it may require a bit of effort to reach from the top of Taormina, the breathtaking surroundings and top-notch restaurant make it all worth it. Overall, a truly enjoyable experience.

We visited the beach in September and found it to be peaceful and well-maintained. It was a great experience overall.

We inquired about the availability of sunbeds and were informed that there were none at the moment. However, we were kindly asked to leave our contact information in case any became available. To our delight, we received a call half an hour later indicating that seats had opened up. Excitedly, we prepared ourselves and made our way towards the beach. Unfortunately, we received another call just 10 minutes later informing us that the seats were no longer available. The abruptness of the call left us feeling frustrated and disappointed, especially considering the 2km trek we had made under the scorching sun. Overall, the lack of professionalism was disheartening.
