Has Taormina got a beach?

Mazzarò is probably the favourite beach of the inhabitants of Taormina, thanks also to its proximity to the town. It is a small bay set between two rocky promontories and covered with gravel and sand. The sparkling and clean sea reveals shallow and pebbly bottoms, perfect for a holiday with children in Sicily.
