Water

Part of the Canale di Sicilia water body (IT1908155), located in the Minori Bacini (minor basins) between Irminio and Scicli. The coast segment is designated as Tratto 16.

Location

Scicli, Sicily, in the province of Ragusa. The bathing area extends 1.2 kilometres along the coast from Punta Scalambri to Punta Religione. Contact: Comune di Scicli (0932 839111) and Capitaneria di Porto di Pozzallo (0932 953327).

Facilities

The bathing area is unequipped and free access. No communal ordinances or signage prohibit animal access. The area is used exclusively for swimming.

Water Quality

Water quality classification: Excellent. The area is subject to a subtropical dry climate with high summer temperatures and modest winter precipitation.

Risks

Heavy precipitation can cause discharge overflow into bathing waters. Treated wastewater from Scicli is discharged into the sea via a submarine pipeline. Agricultural activities, urban sewage discharge, and stormwater runoff are identified as potential pollution sources. No cyanobacteria or macroalgae proliferation has been documented in the last four years.
