The history of Punta Secca in the Ragusa area dates back to ancient times. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by some archaeological finds found in the surrounding area.
During the Roman era, Punta Secca was part of the important city of Camarina, a Greek colony founded in 598 BC. The city thrived for centuries as a commercial and agricultural center but eventually declined due to the barbarian invasions and constant warfare that plagued the region.
Over the following centuries, Punta Secca came under the control of various dominations, including the Arabs, the Normans and the Spanish. These cultural influences are still reflected today in the region's architecture and culinary tradition.
During the 19th century, Punta Secca became an important point of reference for fishing and agriculture. Local fishermen built the first wooden and reed houses near the beach to shelter during their activities.
In recent decades, Punta Secca has seen an increase in tourism thanks to its natural beauty and the success of the television series "Il Commissario Montalbano". The series brought attention to the picturesque seaside village, attracting visitors from all over the world.
Today, Punta Secca is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer when visitors can enjoy its golden sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and relaxed atmosphere. The village is well served by restaurants, bars and accommodation facilities that welcome tourists eager to discover the beauty and history of this fascinating town in the Ragusa area.
