Cala Mosche, also known as Calamosche, is a picturesque beach nestled within the Vendicari Nature Reserve on Sicily's Ionian coast, near Noto. It is renowned for its fine golden sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, offering a tranquil and unspoiled environment. The beach is protected by two rocky headlands, creating calm waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The surrounding reserve is a haven for nature lovers, with lush Mediterranean vegetation and a diverse fauna, including migratory birds and historical sites like the ancient Greek settlement of Eloro.
The beach's remote location adds to its charm, with access provided via a short walk from the parking area. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities from hiking in the nature reserve to exploring historical ruins nearby. The nearby town of Noto offers additional facilities and attractions to complement a visit to Cala Mosche.
In 2005, Calamosche was awarded the title of most beautiful beach in Italy by the Blue Guide of Legambiente, further enhancing its allure for travelers seeking secluded yet stunning beach experiences in Sicily.
