In the west, the coastline is more open, with long sandy beaches, nature reserves and areas exposed to the wind.<\/p><p>Southern Sicily has broad, bright stretches of coast, gradually sloping seabeds and more open landscapes. In the east, cliffs and dark volcanic beaches reflect the influence of Mount Etna, while several towns and villages face directly onto the Ionian Sea.<\/p><p>Sicily\u2019s coastal areas differ greatly from one another.
