The real draws are inland — UNESCO Baroque towns — but the coast offers beaches, boat trips, and a TV detective's iconic seaside house.
Rebuilt in theatrical Baroque style after the 1693 earthquake, Ragusa Ibla rewards every minute. Climb to the Duomo di San Giorgio, wander narrow alleys, and relax in the Giardino Ibleo with sweeping valley views.
Find Ragusa Ibla tours →The famous Italian crime drama was filmed along this coastline. Visit Punta Secca (10 min by taxi), where 'Montalbano's house' with its iconic balcony overlooking the sea is now a B&B — a pilgrimage for fans of the series.
Find Montalbano tours →A romantic neo-Gothic castle surrounded by parkland and a famous stone maze, 25 minutes from the port. Its theatrical architecture and gardens make for a half-day well spent, with the option to combine with Ragusa Ibla.
Find Donnafugata tours →Modica's ancient cold-pressed chocolate — made using a pre-Colombian Aztec recipe — is unique in Italy. Pair a chocolate tasting with the town's stunning Baroque cathedral and tight medieval streets.

Find sailing tours →Marina di Ragusa's own beach starts 5 minutes from the marina — fine golden sand, shallow calm water, and a string of lidos where €15–25 gets you two loungers, an umbrella, and bar access. Perfect for ships with a long daytime call.

Walk east from the marina along the Lungomare Andrea Doria promenade, passing the beach and cycling path, to the lively main square lined with cafes, gelaterias, and local shops. Turn back or carry on to Torre Cabrera, a 16th-century coastal watchtower.
