The seaside hamlet of Sampieri is located along the southeastern coast of Sicily, about 40 km from Ragusa and 11 km from Scicli. The majestic and panoramic beach of Sampieri is surrounded by a pine forest and is 2 km long. The beach, whose last part is called Pisciotto, ends in a high cliff where you can dive and snorkel in a clear sea. The golden and fine sand, the shallow waters and the presence of many services, including two beach clubs renting deckchairs, umbrellas and pedal boats, as well as a beach volleyball court, bars and restaurants, make it a suitable place for those who want to spend a relaxing day at the beach. Moreover, behind the beach there is a pine forest, which provides a shaded area with picnic tables, and a large paying parking.
Being one of the favorite destinations of the local tourists, Sampieri could be particularly crowded in July and August, but, thanks to the length of the beach, just walk a few steps from the beach club areas to enjoy more space and tranquility.
Legambiente and the Ialian Touring Club have counted it among the most beautiful beaches in Italy and included in the "Blue Guide 2014".
