Early morning atmosphere on the beach at Giardini-Naxos

by Silva Wischeropp

This radiant, morning nature photograph shows the magical, dreamlike and globally popular beach in the former small fishing village of Giardini Naxos on the east coast of the island of Sicily.
The picture was taken during my autumn holidays on 28 October 2024 with the NIKON D800 camera (lens: NIKKOR 24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8).

The calm, still deserted beach on the turquoise-coloured sea with a wide sandy beach gives the motif the character of confidence and strength for the coming day.
The motif is ideal for all bathrooms and toilets, but can also be used in offices as an incentive for creative realisation.

The beach at Giardini Naxos is one of the most important and most popular seaside resorts in the whole of Sicily. It stretches for around 4 kilometres south of Taormina, from Capo Schisò to Capo Taormina. Along the coast, freely accessible beaches alternate with beaches with beach facilities. There are different sandy beaches depending on the stretch of coast.

In the area south of Recanati, you will find partly sandy coasts and partly pebble beaches. Heading north, you will come across Schisò beach, which is very popular with tourists in summer, consists of fine golden sand and is surrounded by green Mediterranean scrub. Immediately afterwards is the beach of San Giovanni, which is made up of fine, grey sand. Finally, you come to the beach of Porticciolo Saja, an area where you will find various sandy coves between fascinating lava rocks. The sea at Giardini Naxos is clean and azure blue and boasts transparency.
