Water temperature…
Calderà is located on the northern coast of Sicily, positioned between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the foothills of the Peloritani mountains. The town serves as the seaside extension of Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto and transforms into an animated hub, especially during the summer months. The long pebble beaches are characteristic of this stretch of coastline, offering unparalleled views of the Aeolian Islands' silhouette on the horizon on clear days. The 'Onda Anomala' beach section is a well-known meeting spot, valued for its clear waters and well-equipped beach clubs (lidi). Here, visitors can find both free public areas and full-service zones with sunbeds and bars. The seafront promenade in Calderà is lined with restaurants and pizzerias where you can enjoy local Sicilian cuisine. In the evenings, the town is a magnet for youths and families enjoying the mild climate and sea breeze. In terms of gastronomy, you must try the granita with brioche, a classic Sicilian breakfast. Calderà is strategically located just a short drive from Milazzo, from where ferries depart for the islands. Access is convenient via the A20 motorway (Messina-Palermo) or by train to the Barcellona-Castroreale station. It is an authentic spot that perfectly embodies the typical Sicilian summer vibe.
