Isola Bella · Taormina's pebble beach

A tiny rocky island connected to the mainland by a sandbar that appears and disappears with the tide — owned by the Englishwoman Florence Trevelyan in the late 19th century, then a small private nature reserve. The pebble beach on either side of the sandbar is Taormina's swim spot. Get there before 10 a.m. (busy by noon) and book a sunbed at Lido Mendolia or Lido la Caravella for €25–40. Cable car from Taormina town runs every 15 minutes; €3 each way.
