About the beach
In the municipality of Catania, in the province of Catania (Sicily), Spiaggia nera di San Giovanni Li Cuti is a rocky stretch of coast on the Ionian Sea.
Orientation: southeast (114°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W), keeps it calm; the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water rated poor by the EEA (2025 season).
