Scilla is one of the most beautiful and best-known towns along this coast, the Costa Viola. Scilla is located directly on the Strait of Messina and therefore offers a great view of nearby Sicily. The 600 m long and 30 m wide beach in the Marina Grande district offers a fantastic view of the city's landmark, Castello Ruffo, located on a large rock.
