Isola Bella

La baia racchiusa tra Capo Taormina e Capo Sant'Andrea con incastonata al centro, come una perla preziosa, non a caso viene chiamata “La Perla del Mediterraneo” Ricoperto di macchia mediterranea ed essenze esotiche, l'incantevole isolotto è un rigoglioso giardino botanico. Riparata dai due promontori, la spiaggia è di ghiaia e ciottoli. Potete scegliere se sistemarvi comodamente in uno dei lidi attrezzati con ombrelloni e lettini oppure nel tratto di spiaggia libera. Il punto migliore e più tranquillo è la spiaggetta alla base dell'Isola Bella ,dove per un gioco di luci le acque assumono stupefacenti colorazioni cangianti. Per il resto, invece, sono limpide e incredibilmente trasparenti, poco profonde e disseminate di scogli, ideali quindi per nuotare e fare snorkeling tra alghe e pesci di scogliera.
