Administratively
pertaining to the municipality of Ragusa, Marina di Ragusa is the
most structurally equipped resort in the province and in all South-Eastern
Sicily.
 The
extension of the town and the number of tourism structures have
remarkably increased in the past fifteen years, and it may be considered
today as a small city, endowed of every kind of services and densely
inhabited the whole year.
The
former "Mazzarelli" (name of the town until 1928) was,
and still is, an important producer of asphalt stone, also exported,
and carobs, from which alcohol is obtained.
 An
old tower was erected, close to the shore, in defence of coast and
territory, in the period of the County, wanted, like the one in
Pozzallo, by the Cabrera family.
Around
this "Torre", the new centre of the town has grown up.
Economy
is mainly based on tourism and agriculture, especially the hothouse
cultivation. Other small and medium commercial businesses, of various
fields, are well developed.
