Villa San Giovanni beach

Villa San Giovanni is a city in the south of Italy being the closest place to Sicily. A good beach can be found in the north-east end of the coast - in Cannitello village - with several breakwaters protecting from the cold currents of the Strait of Messina. The water is perfectly clear and surprisingly clean. However, most of the tourists stay here for one night only - before the morning ferry to Sicily. Shore and seabed: pebble, sand. [edit]
