Blue Flag Beaches
Detail
There are 16 “Blue Flags” in Sicily in 2026.
The ranking is drawn up every year by the Foundation for Environmental Education, the Danish NGO that awards the recognition based on quality parameters such as water cleanliness and the quality of the services offered.
The new entries? There are two new Blue Flags: Ispica and Lipari.

Confirmed locations include Alì Terme, Nizza di Sicilia, Santa Teresa di Riva, Letojanni, Mazzeo in Taormina, Messina, Furci Siculo, Roccalumera and Tusa. These are joined by Lipari, with the beaches of Vulcano Gelso, Acqua Calda, Canneto, Vulcano Acque Termali and Stromboli Ficogrande.
The province of Ragusa confirms the beaches of Marina di Modica and Maganuco in Modica, Pietre Nere and Raganzino in Pozzallo, Marina di Ragusa and Sampieri – Pisciotto in Scicli. Among the new entries for 2026 is also Ispica, with Santa Maria del Focallo.
