La Piazzetta In Gioiosa marea

13/09/2025: Given that it's the only beach in Castel di Tusa, I have to say it was a very pleasant surprise. A very quiet and relaxing place, run by a family. My wife, my in-laws, and I (four of us) stayed there for two days in a row and had a wonderful time. The first day, we only rented umbrellas, and since my wife and I had recently arrived in Sicily for a short vacation, we brought some rotisserie food and a cooler with water and beers for lunch, which we enjoyed under the umbrella without any problems. The second day, we decided to have lunch at the beach, so when we arrived around 9:30, we ordered four salads and two caponatas, which we then ate at lunchtime. They were very good ☺️. We also asked if it was possible to have freshly toasted slices of bread, and they obliged without a problem! The aperitif we had was also excellent!!! The four of us had two larger appetizers, plus two regular ones, and we all happily had an aperitif with chips and fried panelle, croquettes, arancini, and mozzarella in carrozza. The prices were fair and more than affordable. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a relaxing and comfortable day without having to lug everything around and instead set up camp on a public beach.

25/08/2025: Great location, great view from both the bar and the chairs by the sea. The price is very reasonable, €25 for 2 chairs and an umbrella for a day. The price of the lunch is also reasonable, €22 for 2 sandwiches, 1 portion of fries, one coke and a beer. I would definitely recommend this place a relaxing day on the beach. The place is very clean and the chairs are very comfy.
