About the beach
Caronia beach is a pebble beach in the municipality of Caronia, in the province of Messina (Sicily), on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
“Caronia beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
Facing north (350°), it is sheltered with the Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE); with the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
