About
Spiaggia Fontane Bianche gets its name from the numerous freshwater springs that lie on the seabed, and is loved for its clear and shallow waters—great for kids to wade in. You can rent a beach chair and umbrella, or lie anywhere on the warm white sand along the free sections of the beach. A stay at the waterfront hotels and resorts will grant you private access to some sections of the beach. Beyond the beach clubs and seafront restaurants, the neighborhood itself is pretty quiet and peaceful. Walk along the rocky shore along the west end of the beach toward the stunning Punta del Cane. – Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited in June for a long weekend, we were "guests" of the Lido Fontane Bianche of the same name.
Once you arrive, you can park in the parking area (unguarded) but still at the price of €5 for the whole day.
However, once we arrived at the Lido, we had a great time. It is also possible to go to the free beach, however we choose a more comfortable stay.
The sea is pristine and wonderful, the seabed clear and beautiful.
A place certainly worthy of note where we suggest staying for a whole day of relaxation.

Unfortunately a disappointment. Maybe the period, the bad weather that lasted until June and then the very high temperatures, I don't know, the fact is that the sea was not at all what you see in many photos. Full of algae and at a certain time the color of the water is brown, which I have never seen even on the Romagna Riviera. The beaches are small, especially the free ones, and the best sections are occupied by private beaches that have exaggerated prices. The location is ugly, it offers absolutely nothing. It's also impossible to take a walk because there isn't even a decent sidewalk. To spend an evening you have to move to nearby Avola or even further away to Syracuse, Marzamemi etc.. I personally moved to the much more beautiful nearby beaches after the first day. Sin.

Large bay with wide sandy beach separated into paid club areas and free public ones. Brilliant color water. Fully developed, all amenities, a couple of parking lots on the nearest parallel street.

Unimaginable disappointment. Chosen as one of the stops on my tour of the island, I believed it would be one of the cornerstones of my entire holiday. However, the opinion is decidedly negative. The sea is fantastic. It is the true wealth of Sicily but the beach is overrated. A beautiful cove and nothing more. The beach managers act as very threatening 007s if you try to pass through their entrances: but the sea is still accessible from the free beach. Clear in the morning, decidedly cloudy in the evening. Just off the beach you find only desolation and dirt. A couple of clubs and nothing more. Many buildings in ruins and some houses that resist general decay. Bad streets, rubbish everywhere. Connections from the motorway that seem like mule tracks: narrow and full of potholes. Dirt everywhere. It would be good as a location for a post-apocalyptic film.

Massive, with almost no public space, expensive private space, the water leaves you smelling like shellfish in your swimsuit.
Paid parking, 5 euros, small.
It has a part that is shown in the photo with pedal sade bar.
Very calm waters that almost do not cover; no utilities to change or go to the toilet.

I read several reviews that were leading me astray.
Take anyone who writes all negative things with a grain of salt because that's not the case.
We took an umbrella at the SAYONARA beach and had a great time.
It's true that the prices for umbrellas in high season (e.g. mid-August week) are around €40 for an umbrella and two sunbeds regardless of the arrival time (we arrived almost at 3pm but half a day is never included). )
For the rest, wonderful, crystal clear sea, light sandy beach
More than good services

Over 60% of the beach is privatized and the prices of the beaches range from 35 to 60 euros (therefore mind-boggling prices). The free beach (and not only that) is full of algae and overcrowded. In the afternoon the water gets dirty. The whole area is abandoned to itself. Shameful level of filth after mid-August. What does the Municipality do?! Nothing. Definitely a place to avoid in August.

The only consolation is the beauty of the water which, however, is only perceivable if you move away from the shore, especially in the afternoon due to the crowding and algae on the shore.
Very narrow strip of beach contaminated by many beaches that occupy every inch of beach. Horrible! Sunbeds one above the other. Zero living space. If you come alone you still have to pay 35 euros for the place which includes two sunbeds and an umbrella. No other alternatives! Just asking for a sunbed like in any other structure in Italy is impossible! Absurd.
Coming from Sampieri I have to say that FB doesn't hold a candle to the comparison both in terms of the much larger and more livable free beach, and in terms of the beaches that don't invade the entire bathing area, and in terms of welcoming tourists! There you put down your towel on the free beach and hear only the sound of the sea and the wind
Maybe my expectations were too high and I was somewhat disappointed.
Stage completed and we move on!

What a disappointment!
If this is the most beautiful beach in Syracuse Sicilians should love the French Atlantic beaches
Paid parking 5 euros even at 5pm and the public beach is tiny and crowded...on the other hand private beaches with exorbitant prices are legion
No interest go your way

Chi mi consiglia un buon stabilimento balneare dove è possibile prenotare sdraio ed ombrellone con anticipo e dove ci sia un buon ristorante per pranzare. Ho una bimba piccola e vorrei trovare un posto con buoni servizi

Salve, volevo saper dove è possibile parcheggiare l'auto ( intendo un posto sicuro) e se il mare dista molto da dove si lascia l'auto.
Grazie.

Afraid we're visiting without the benefit of a car. Is it possible (and safe) to leave our wallets and phones with the staff at one of the paid sections of beach? Many thanks in advance!

In our experience the beach is totally free, though we’ve not been there at the height of the season. That said, not sure I’d leave wallets and phones with anyone!

Fontane Bianche era il mio primo punto di vacanza per quest'anno,, poi ho saputo da gente locale, che la spiaggia si è ritirata di diversi metri, cioè è stata mangiata dal mare e l'ho notato anche da diverse foto dove si vede che gli ombrelloni sono quasi di fronte alla battigia. Per questo ho scelto le spiagge del nord, unendo anche visite di cultura, tanto in ogni parte della Sicilia si possono praticare entrambe le cose, mare e cultura. Volevo sapere da chi ci è stato ultimamente, se la cosa è vera.
Written 29 April 2019
Buongiorno, il pessimo inverno appena passato ha colpito fortemente la Sicilia in diverse forme (spiagge, banchine etc.); si a Fontane Bianche si nota, direi però nel centro della spiaggia si vede di più mentre agli estremi meno. In questi giorni però stavano lavorando molto per recuperare parte della spiaggia. I servii offerti comunque sono ottimi sia per la spiaggia libera che per gli stabilimenti presenti.
Written 29 April 2019
Buon pomeriggio, nei giorni di pasqua ho visto qualcuno con il cane in spiaggia ma una parte della spiaggia è attrezzata a stabilimento balneare mentre la restante parte è spiaggia libera. Non ho fatto caso a cartelli specifici nei tanti accessi alla spiaggia.

Wir sind zur Zeit im Urlaub in Siracusa, dieser Strand scheint der einzig sehenswerte zu sein. Weiß jemand, ob wir diesen per Bus erreichen können? Das Taxi soll 60 Euro kosten.

Hallo Bernd!
Ich weiß zwar nicht, ob es einen Bus gibt, da wir ein Mietauto hatten, wollte nur kurz anmerken, dass ich mir nicht sicher bin, ob sich der Aufwand wirklich lohnt. Es ist halt ein Strand, ein weiter Sandstrand, ja. Aber das war's. Eventuell haben auch die Lidos nicht mehr auf. Falls ich es euch vorschlagen darf, ich würde weiter in den Süden fahren, in das Naturreservat, da kann man noch Vögel beobachten und umherwandern. Der Strand ist dort nicht gar so schön, da am Wasserrand eine kleine Mauer aus ausgestorbenen Algen liegt (war zumindest im August so). Schaut es euch im Internet mal an. Und das Naturreservat dürfte eventuell noch scherer zu erreichen sein...Wünsche Euch einen schönen Urlaub!
