Lido Playa Carratois

Nice sandy beach

San Lorenzo is usually better, but when the wind blows from east, this place is paradise.

Best beach on the east-south corner of Sicily! Nice dunes. And a couple of nice restaurants for lunch

Worst place ever. Took us more than 2 hours to have lunch. The waiter is really rude and disgusting. The beach is beautiful but don’t come here to have lunch.

Sea 5/5: wonderful clean water. I loved it! Sand 2/5: our sunbeds were OK, but the sand was full of cigarettes, not exactly what you can expect for the money you pay. Parking 3/5: expect some creative parking if you go in the afternoon. The place can only be reached by car Services offered 1/5: there is a big kiosk that manages both the beach umbrellas and sunbeds + cafe + restaurant + showers and toilets. If you arrive at lunchtime, as I did, be prepared for a queue. You may get lucky and find a good spot on the beach . From the beginning there is no distinction between the queues for getting the sunbeds or paying for the restaurant (expect some chaos), no information either. Just go straight to the cashier for information . Although you can pay with debit/credit cards, it may happen the pos terminal won't work, so bring some cash with you. The staff is not rude, nor friendly, just neutral, if you don't like chit-chat this place is for you. The price for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella is 30 euros in August (slightly less in July). I didn't go to the restaurant, however I got a large bottle of water for 2 euros (not bad). While queueing to pay the water, a lady skipped the line and the cashier just served her, without caring for me (I was waiting in the queue for 2 mins already) . Very rude. Other big issue there was no water in the showers, nor in the toilet sinks, nor in the toilets. Not great after a day spent on the beach. Nice beach, beautiful view, amazing sunset, the water was populated of nice little fishes, and not particularly crowded in an afternoon in the middle of August. Be aware that you may need to park slightly away from the actual "lido" location, but it's worth a walk. The location itself is pretty great. One of the best spots in Sicily (I am Sicilian). However the "lido" wasn't the best, many things could have been better, especially for the price that is slightly higher than the Sicilian standards.

Best Sunset Point of the south east Sicily, Fantastic beach, great food and genuine people!

Empty at this time of year! A must during summer... loved the dunes!

It's beautiful: the sand is nice and soft, the water is crystal clear! Definitely recommend to come here, it's beautiful in every season if you enjoy the sea
