Noto, Sicily Has All the White Lotus Vibes With None of the Crowds
"Calamosche Beach is a stunning swimming spot near Noto, known for its perfect cove with calm, clear water. It's a 20-minute hike from the parking lot." - Jeffrey Gettleman
Amazing place and not crowded. Feel isolated and calm. Note that entrance fee 3.5 euro per a person and 5 euro for a parking. But I would say it worth visiting with paying for preserving the nature and they also have several working shower booths in paring lot, which was convenient. ~ 15 mins between parking and beach. You would feel more times if there is a strong sun 😎🔥🥵

Beautiful and secluded beach.
Unfortunately we visited in a cloudy and windy day, so the sea was a bit wavy, but yet the surroundings were beautiful.
We paid €5 to park the car, but this included a small panino. You also have to pay €3,5 to access the beach.
It's a 10 minutes walk, relatively easy. There's also a longer walk up to the villa, but we didn't take it.
I'd definitely consider visiting again in a better day.

A beach nestled in a protected area surrounded by nature. The water is very clear. Access is only possible by car. You'll need to rent a car, and there's a long walk after parking. There's an entrance fee, but it's not expensive. There's no shopping inside. I recommend bringing a snack.

Plus: the water is amazing and the scenery is also.
Negative: parking is 5$ plus entrance 3.5$ per person. You hora walk like 1k 20 min and stairs to get to the beach. At the beach plan for nothing more than swimming and relax in the sand. No food, no drinks, no bathroom…

Nothing special really. You walk a distance to a nice enough beach. It costs 5 Euro to park and then a fee to enter the national park to get to the beach. There are a few nice enough views.. Not really worth the effort unless you've never been to a beach before, though someone did mention you can walk to see flamingos ? Leave well before dusk as once the sun slips below the horizon the mosquito's will eat you alive. Overall a pleasant experience if you have the time and inclination.

Beautiful beach in a nature rezerve, however you need to count with quite a long road on the offroad to get to parking place which is paid by 5€ and then as well entrance fee 3,5€/person, when you enter tha nature rezerve. It take around 20 minutes/1,3km to get to the beach by walk. However when I visited it was not overcrowded and the sea was calm. I personally liked it.

The road towards the beach is narrow, with no pavement and two cars barely have space next to each other. The way in is also the way out, so the chances of getting stuck are extremely high. The parking costs 5€/car and then you also have to pay to go to the beach. The parking is basically an olive tree orchard with toilets. From the parking to the beach, you have to walk for at least 20 minutes, not to mention you have to wait in a line so you can pay for the beach at the designated kiosk.

turn off the main road & follow a dirt road a few miles to a parking lot. Pay a fee to park then begin on your hike to the beach. Access to the beach is free but definitely a long walk. Approx 25-35 minute walk on a sandy, dirt stretch to get to the water. On a hot day, the sand gets hot, so wearing flip flops or going barefoot can be painful. The beach itself was nice, a tad overcrowded. There's lots of seaweed washed up on shore & in the water but the water is still surprisingly clear. Not the warmest but feels good on a hot day. There are schools of fish swimming so if you have snorkeling gear you might want to bring it
