About the beach
Brucoli beach, within Augusta (the province of Syracuse, Sicily), is a beach on the Ionian Sea.
“Brucoli beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
The beach faces northwest (331°). It is most sheltered when the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
