Fontane Bianche
A white-sand bay about 20 km south of Syracuse with clear, shallow jade-green water. It is the summer beach locals love most.
Fontane Bianche lies about 20 km south of Syracuse. It is a roughly 1-km-long bay of fine white sand, and freshwater springs bubble up from the seabed (hence the name). The shallow, clear water is ideal for family swimming. Part of the beach is free public space, and part is a paid beach club where you can rent loungers and umbrellas. On weekends in July and August it is very crowded, and parking is scarce. You can take a bus from Syracuse, about 40 minutes, or drive and combine your visit with Cavagrande del Cassibile.
