About Isola Bella
Italy
At the base of the hills where the popular town of Taormina rests is the double bay created by Isola Bella. Characterised by the division of the beach with a sandbar leading to a small island just offshore, the beach is best enjoyed in time for aperitivo hour when the crowds clear. Considered one of the best beaches in Sicily’s Messina district, the pebbly shore is surrounded by lush vegetation and towering hillsides.
The seabed at Isola Bella is a haven for snorkellers with brilliant rock formations, most of them home to schools of small fish and crustaceans. During sunset, watch as the lights of boats near the bay twinkle and the setting sun lights up the clifftop opposite the small island.
