There’s no denying that Sicily has it all. Have a perfect city break in Palermo, or an island break in Taormina. But don’t sleep on one of Sicily’s brightest gems: its many and varied, extraordinarily beautiful beaches.  With a mainland coastline stretching almost 500 miles – not to mention the surrounding Aeolian, Egadi and Pelagie archipelagos – there’s plenty of beachy goodness to get stuck into here. From a picturesque islet made famous by White Lotus to the most scenic seaside town you’ve (probably) ever seen, here are nine perfect beaches on the Med’s biggest island. 📍 Discover the best hotels across Sicily At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.
