The sandy beaches spread out along the Ispica coast for more than eight kilometers, giving plenty of space and sun for everyone. The beach is made up mostly of soft sand, backed by low dunes with vegetation, though in a few spots its is marked by rocky reefs cut with small sandy coves.

There are some concessions (called lidos) that rent umbrellas and sun beds and provide services like showers, changing cabins and restaurant/bar service, but there are also lots of free beach available, where you take your own towels or blankets, maybe an umbrella, and enjoy some space and quiet. It's up to you!

The water is shallow for a good length, making it great for kids or those who don't like to swim. It is clean, too, earning the Blue Flag for cleanliness.
