Top 22 things to do and attractions in Castellammare del Golfo

Not as elaborate as the northern Italy Churches but still nice

Beautiful Church in Castellammare.

(Translated by Google) It is the Mother Church of Castellammare del Golfo. It is very simple and linear both on the outside and inside where there is a light baroque style. Unfortunately it would need some restoration work. (Original) E' la Chiesa Madre di Castellammare del Golfo. È molto semplice e lineare sia nella parte esterna che all'interno dove si nota un leggero stile barocco. Purtroppo necessiterebbe di un po' di lavori di restauro.

(Translated by Google) The Church is located in a small square partly covered by a building. The interior is full of frescoes and statues, with 2 chapels on either side of the altar. (Original) La Chiesa è situata in una piazzetta in parte coperta da un palazzo. L'interno è ricco di affreschi e statue, con 2 cappelle ai lati dell'altare.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful and cozy square near the church. I was surprised to be able to go inside at 11:15 PM. Very beautiful and peaceful. My soul rested and prayed ♥️ (Original) Labai gražus ir jaukus skveras prie bažnyčios. Nustebino, kad 23:15 galėjau užeiti į vidų. Labai gražu ir ramu. Mano siela pailsėjo ir meldėsi ♥️

(Translated by Google) Oasis of peace and prayer in the crowded historic center of Castellammare del Golfo. We saw the Madonna del Soccorso adorned with a cloak of many different colors, a sign of union between peoples 🙏 (Original) Oasi di pace e di preghiera nell'affollato centro storico di Castellammare del Golfo. Abbiamo visto la Madonna del Soccorso adornata di un mantello di tanti colori diversi, segno di unione fra i popoli 🙏

(Translated by Google) An evocative sanctuary to say the least, a place of great spirituality. The maintenance of the frescoes and decorations is exceptional. It's worth a visit. (Original) Santuario a dir poco suggestivo, luogo di grande spiritualità. Il mantenimento degli affreschi e degli adorni è eccezionale. Vale la pena una visita.

This restaurant our friend recommend for us. We went there 3 times for dinner and every time it was amazing. Food is perfectly good and service as well. It was so special dinners. I highly recommend this restaurant, you will never regret, believe me

One of the best meals we had in Sicily! My mouth still waters everytime I think about that fish couscous: packed with umami flavour and fresh. The staffs were lovely.

Brilliant food on the marina - everything was super fresh, though mussel soup was a bit too salty

Absolutely incredible. If you love fish, this place is a must. Everything so fresh. Service was fast and top notch.

Very good restaurant with local seafood specialites with very professional service. Located in the port. We had great oysters and spagghetti with sea urchin (ricci)

Lovely setting in the marina. We met Gaspare whose parents run the restaurant and his dad is the chef. The food was excellent, we had Octopus, Casarecce with pistachio cream, prawn and cuttlefish - which was amazing, tagliatelle with tomato and prawns which was delicious. The tiramisu to finish was also brilliant.

2 nights in a row we haf dinner at this wonderful place, the food & atmosphere were amazing, all the staff were kind but Tonino was the best!

If you want to experience the chaotic yet organised Sicilian busy pastry shop experience , then this is your spot. Open the whole day , this shop provides great quality pastries as well as nice savoury sandwiches and great breakfast croissants. Everyone seems very hard working and they keep up with a huge workload daily. Hats off to them as they are doing a great job. It is very informal and rustic ( you might even witness a fight between staff members while coping with a busy service , but hey, this is the proper cafè experience). High recommended for quality Sicilian food !!

This bar was recommended to us by the owner of a B&B in Palermo on our way to San Vito Lo Capo. Everything we bought there was excellent. Therefore, we will continue to recommend it.

Delicious pastries! Cassatella were warm and so good. Everything was great

Delicious pastry and arancini. Local feel. We came here 2 times and also packed for our hike in Riserva dello Zingaro. The coffee is also yummy.

This spot seems to be the hot spot in town with locals. It was our spot to meet our driver every morning and to have our first cup of cappuccino with un Cornetto before our travels.

The best cannoli and cassatelle in the world! Absolutely excellent — 5 stars! We went back twice on the same day 😄!

Ottima atmosfera popolare

Beautiful view on the whole coast where you can have a pique nique on the back side under the trees (wooden table and chairs). Note that we walked up there and the road is NOT really prepared for pedestrians.

Beautiful seaside town with a charming historic center, a scenic harbor, and a lovely castle by the sea. Great place to stroll, enjoy fresh seafood, and take in the views of the gulf. Perfect for a relaxing stop on the way to Scopello or the Zingaro Reserve.

The view is out of this world! A few benches offer rest, plus a food truck for snacks, wine, beer, or sandwiches. Perfect spot to relax or have a cigarette break—highly recommended for a quick pause with scenery.

Great beach with an amazing water and breathtaking views.

The vast expanse of the sea meets the shore in a mesmerizing display. Gentle waves gracefully kiss the sandy beaches, creating a soothing rhythm. Colorful skies paint the backdrop, enhancing the natural beauty of the scene. Witnessing the beauty of the coastline is a truly remarkable experience. The coastal scenery creates a serene and calming atmosphere for all to enjoy.

Pretty, little town, with lovely, friendly people and incredible food.

Stunning! There are no filters on these pictures. It is so beautiful. The belvedere is a great place for pictures or to take a walk. There is a food truck to buy coffee, snacks, and juices.

Opening hours are not correct - so we drove two hours to days in a row for nothing

This is one of the villages my family came from before immigrating to the United States. ❤️

Great view to take photos.

Most of the castle was closed for refurbishing, but one of the museums was opened, which was very nice.

Monumental. Beautiful place to visit in the evening. This is a gathering place for many of the locals. Here you can see the sunset.

Beautiful, calming, very tourist friendly. I would recommend coming off season

Port area is wonderful with lots of bars and restaurants. Fish is a speciality in most.

Beautiful and relaxing place! The marina is full of charm, with lovely boats, great restaurants, and a fantastic view of the sea and the old town. Perfect for a peaceful evening walk or dinner by the water.

Really beautiful place worth visiting with many restaurants around.

it is a nice city and spot fancy restaurants and expensive difficulty in finding a parking there are boats to book for a day trip starting at 40 eur per person view is nice

Very pretty location. Great place to rent a boat with access to one of the most beautiful sections of sicilys coastline

Lovely harbour town with lots of narrow streets and small beach

One of the most beautiful places in the world ❤️

Beautiful coastal community, shops and restaurants abound

My family and I planned this boat tour for our first trip to Sicily. We were a group of 9, ages ranging from 9- 72. Stefano and his crew were accommodating and knowledgeable of the landscape. We were given waters, wine and fresh fruit. The views were breathtaking and swimming in the sea was enjoyable and refreshing. Stefano brought us to interesting places and we will remember this trip forever. One memorable part was the Gelato/ aperol spritz boat that pulls up right to you on the water.

It was our first boat tour, and it was absolutely amazing. We went on the 8-hour tour and I’d say it is absolutely worth it, especially if you wouldn’t visit San Vito lo Capo otherwise. Our skipper was really kind, he always had some trivia for the place we were currently at, and had all necessary amenities for the tour - drinks, fruit, goggles (especially near the first stops, the underwater sights are amazing!), those tube-things if you need help staying afloat, etc. Our group was really great too, but I guess that’s up to luck. One note, if you get seasick or motion sickness easily, make sure to pack some pills against it (they worked perfectly for me, God bless the 21st century)!

Our family of four took a boat excursion from Castellammare to San Vito Lo Capo with Mare and More. It was a highlight of our trip!! It was just beautiful, San Vito Lo Capo was one of the most gorgeous places we visited in Sicily, the lunch recommendation was great, the boat itself was comfortable with cold drinks and fresh fruit provided. Stefano and Michele made the trip extra special!!

The boat tour to San Vito Lo Capo aboard the RHIB Master 1000 was absolutely exceptional. Our skipper, Stefano, was warm, friendly, and full of fascinating insights about the area, which he shared throughout the journey. The scenery was breathtaking, and swimming in the crystal-clear waters was an unforgettable experience. A perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and local charm — highly recommended!

Salo was an amazing tour guide. We had an amazing time exploring the coast on this 8 hour tour. Truly a highlight of our trip!

Best excursion ever! We had an extremely wonderful time with Mare and more. We booked the Castellammare - San Vito lo Capo all day trip, and it did not dissapoint!!. Amazing guide and great wine. The Views!!!!!! I recommend with all my hearth. Wow. Thank you Mare and More. I will be back 🩵

A lovely day on the water. We went to many good and interesting swim spots including caves, tonnara di scapello, and zingaro reserve (which was otherwise unreachable due to fire damage). Plenty of wine and water, and a nice amount of time in San Vito Lo capo for lunch. We were so glad we went with the all-day option.

We had a fantastic hike here, you could either just do the lower coastal work from one end to the other and back which would be about 12ish kilometres in total or there is a path higher up the mountain for a change of scenery on the return route, the accent is about 400m to the higher path. Both offer stunning views. Just remembered your sunscreen and carry lots of water, we only found one spot for water along the way as the other one we found had a broken tap.

Beautiful hiking path with multiple beach access per foot. Come early tonget a close parking space. Entrance fee 5€, Parking 7€/day

Many hiking routes, cheap entrance - 5 eur, better to start early in the morning when there are less crowded.

Beautiful especially April when we went full of flowers

Beautiful, worth the walk. Bring water.

Top!!!

cool views

Incredibly beautiful place — perfect if you’re looking to spend the day in peace rather than on crowded beaches. It’s best to come early when it opens to get good spots. There are sun loungers and a small café with snacks and drinks. The entrance fee (€25 for the whole day) is worth it, but the €20 parking (in mid-July) felt overpriced to me. Buy tickets in advance on the website, especially during the high season.

I recently photographed a wedding at Tonnara di Scopello and it was an unforgettable experience. The setting is breathtaking – dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and a unique atmosphere that feels both intimate and grand at the same time. From a photography perspective, the light and scenery are incredible, and it’s easily one of the most beautiful locations I’ve had the privilege to work at in Sicily.

The Tonnara di Scopello is one of the most iconic and highly anticipated sights in Western Sicily. This ancient tuna fishery is stunningly picturesque, famous for its historic structure nestled between dramatic cliffs and the two impressive faraglioni (sea stacks). The visual impact is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s an essential photo stop in the region. We were unfortunately met with a significant disappointment upon arrival: the required entry fee. To access the property, get closer to the sea, and take pictures, the cost was €15 per person. While we understand that such a high price might be necessary to manage large crowds for swimming and snorkeling during peak summer season, we visited off-season when there was virtually no one else around. Charging such a steep fee just for the privilege of walking down and taking a few photographs felt prohibitive and entirely excessive. If you are nearby, the site is still worth seeing from a distance along the coastal road, as the panorama is unforgettable. However, unless you plan to spend hours swimming or snorkeling in high season, the €15 entry fee is definitely too much for just a quick visit and a photo op. Approach with caution and plan to admire its beauty from afar.

Last week, I visited Tonnara di Scopello with my partner. As the hotel is booked far in advance and our trip was spontaneous, we came simply as visitors to the museum. I’ve admired this boutique, intimate hotel for a long time, and while in Sicily for just a few days, I wanted at least to enjoy the architecture and ambiance in person. So I purchased two entrance tickets for €50. Please note: I’m not writing this review as a hotel guest—perhaps under those circumstances my experience would have been exceptional. However, if you plan to visit as a tourist, like I did, I must say the experience was rather disappointing. The €25 per person entrance fee grants access to only a few rooms, where the exhibits are limited to some old fishing equipment and photos of fishermen. Photography is strictly forbidden, and access to most areas is restricted. What’s more, entry is only allowed at specific times, and this is not clearly stated on the website. This was quite frustrating, especially since I was in Sicily for a friend's wedding and only had two hours to spare. Waiting an hour for the English-language tour wasn’t ideal, so I joined the Italian one instead. Midway through the visit, feeling underwhelmed, I decided to leave—only to be escorted directly to the exit, presumably to ensure I didn’t take any unauthorized photos on my way out. 🤣 In summary, if your intention—like mine—was to admire the beauty of the location, perhaps take a few photos or enjoy a drink while soaking in the atmosphere, I would not recommend visiting unless you're staying as a hotel guest

Beautiful historic tuna fishery turned museum and boutique hotel. Stunning sea views, crystal-clear water, and peaceful atmosphere. Perfect spot to explore Sicily’s history and nature. Entry is pretty expensive and limited so I would recommend enjoying from the viewpoint and go to the free beach Cala Mazzo di Sciacca

We loved this beach! We came for the day and it was really worth the trek. Stunning view of the water and cliffs, great service, food, facilities, etc. We went once and immediately booked to come back during our stay because it was secluded and relaxing. There is a bit of an Instagram photoshoot scene, but we didn’t mind and you can’t really blame them - the view is perfect ;)

We were just on the public beach, but that also costs money - we managed to buy a ticket at the entrance. There is a small cafe at the hotel, where you can buy drinks.

🌊 A charming beach with crystal-clear water This beach is made up of smooth, round stones instead of sand it might not be the most comfortable to walk on, but it gives the place a unique and peaceful vibe. The sea is incredibly clear, perfect for a refreshing swim or just floating and watching the sun play on the water. It’s a bit of a pity that it’s turning into a lido, with lots of umbrellas and sunbeds taking over the natural charm. But if you go after 7:30 PM, like we did, it’s much calmer, less crowded, and the light is just magical. 🌅✨ Definitely worth a visit especially in the evening.

So, I was a little surprised just how crowded the beach was. I was told by the locals that July and August are high tourist season so the beach will always be crowded. That being said, it cost us 40e for 4 chairs and one umbrella. The water was a beautiful color blue but not as clear as you would expect. I did like that the waiters will come around with menus and u can place orders and they will bring to your chairs. Plenty of different options on the menus to choose from for lunch and reasonably priced. The view is beautiful. Like most beaches, there are pebbles so wear water shoes. There is a bathroom, it is what it is but clean. If you are looking for a quiet beach this is not it but very clean compared to other beaches in Sicily. Parking was only 5e for the day.

⁉️BRIEFLY ⭐⭐⭐⭐ pebbly beach where to refresh yourself during the hot summer days. Clear (yet NOT crystal clear) waters. ❗No lifeguard around! 🔎 There are various bars nearby that offer the following services: - Food(restaurant and snacks) - Toilets - Showers (paid) - Loungers and umbrella (15€/2pax) 🅿️ There are paid parking nearby 5 to 7€ each for the full day, pay bay card only..

Relaxing beach. Paid parking really close and beach chairs were reasonably priced. Plenty of places for food and drink. Clear nice water

It’s fine. Now is the end of the season but still possible to swim and enjoy the past warm weather. We payed just 3 euros for a parking near but my friend is Italian so I can’t judge the price because maybe they take full price from the tourists

Pretty beach, sandy and great beach bar for a snack. Careful, the parking attendants were giving out lots of tickets

Best beach from Palermo to Trapani! Very small stones, always transparent blue azzurro water and clean, place for snorkelling, warm water cause Tiren mare, wonderful nature landscapes around. large parkings, rent of sailing equipment. Lovely! 🔅🐠

Really beautiful beach, was not too crowded during our visit. Great for snorkeling around the rocks. Not the most comfortable to lay on due to the rocks and pebbles but still doable. Bring your own umbrella unless you’re paying for a chair by the lido next door. Food and drinks accessible to the beach!

Nice pebble beach, the water is very clear, great for snorkeling. There is also a car park and a few bars. At the time of our visit , the car park cost is 8 euro per day. You can also rent sunbeds and umbrellas and have a nice Aperol spritz by the beach. The cost for pair of sunbeds and umbrella depends o the time of the season you come here . It can range from 10 euros per day to 30 euros per day in high season.

Gorgeous spot for swimming! We paid €8 for the parking and ate a salad and a panini at the little cafe in the place. It’s a bit hidden, and to get there you need to go through very narrow paths and it can be difficult to drive to, especially if you’re are tourist and aren’t used to those. Recommend it!

Visited on a Monday and were able to secure parking and a lounge. Parking was €8/day and paid €25 for two chairs. Nice beach, bit rough water and rocky getting in and out of water but beautiful surroundings.

Very Nice beach, very clear water. Easy to access by car, plenty of parking (8€ in summer). Can ben very crowded during holidays, but still worth a visit, plenty of chairs available.

It was such a nice, unexpected experience. We weren't even planning to go minigolf but we've seen the advertising and thought we'd take a chance. Ended up having so much fun. Definitely recommend

Fun evening! Great game of mini golf and delicious pizza. Slightly run down, but adds to the charm. Really friendly team and all in all, a fun family night and great value. (Another guest’s advice about taking mosquito spray is fair, but didn’t detract from a great night)

Good fun mini golf course with some surprising obstacles. Staff were friendly. Pizzas were ok, fries and caponata better. Golf course teeming with mosquitos so wear long sleeves and trousers if you are prone to being bitten like us!

The pizza was delicious, I definitely recommend . The atmosphere with the minigolf was very nice and we had a lovely time.

Would give zero stars if I could. Google maps shows as open but was clearly closed for the duration of our stay in the area last week. We walked one evening from our accommodation to find it closed. We then tried driving there a couple of times to find it closed. Might be worth updating with google maps if you are now closed for the low season!

Nice pizzaz but a but run down place. Nice staff.

What a beautiful setting to a creative course. Food, staff and golf are great.

Peaceful, beautiful place. The old saddles, baskets and farm implements take you back to a simpler time. Amazing views out to sea.

Very beautiful place. Will definitely revisit in the near future.

Nice Ethnographic museum. When we were there it was free. Go there and you will not regret.

If you only have a chance and time consider to show up at the musemu. Worth a effort

(Translated by Google) Museum was closed!!!!! We arrived just before 12.00. We found the door locked, but the ticket office lights were on. Her jacket and a bag could also be seen on a chair. We tried knocking and calling, but with no response. Among other things, there were no timetables or telephone number posted outside. I am a Sicilian, and these experiences leave me astounded....... websites, social media, etc etc.... but then the substance does not change. (Original) Museo era chiuso!!!!! Siamo arrivati poco prima delle 12,00. Abbiamo trovato la porta chiusa a chiave, ma le luci della biglietteria erano accese. Inoltre si vedeva la giacca e una borsa su una sedia. Abbiamo provato a bussare ed a telefonare, ma senza alcuna risposta. Tra l'altro, all'esterno non vi erano affissi ne gli orari ne un numero di telefono. Sono un Siciliano, e queste esperienze mi lasciano esterefatto....... siti web, social media, etc etc.... ma poi la sostanza non cambia.

(Translated by Google) Closed on weekdays, although the internet says it's open. It's worth walking around - the streets with pubs and cafes (Original) W dzień powszedni zamknięte,choć w internecie piszą ,że otwarte.Warto obejść dookoła-uliczki z knajpkami i kafeĵkami

(Translated by Google) A town of amazing beauty, quiet, calm, living in its own rhythm. Walking down the narrow street, along the quays of the pier, it seems as if life has stopped a bit, slowed down. Great. (Original) Nuostabaus grožio miestelis, tylus, ramus, gyvenantis savo ritmu. Vaikščiojant po siauras gatvele, prieplaukos krantines atrodo lyg gyvenimas kiek sustojo, sulėtino tempą. Puiku.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful staircase from which you can enjoy a beautiful view (Original) Bellissima scalinata da cui si gode una bella vista

(Translated by Google) very popular staircase that connects the historic center to the characteristic marina. On the walls many tiles with aphorisms. A path of peace that leads you to an even more peaceful vision (Original) frequentatissima scalinata che collega il centro storico al caratteristico porticciolo. Sulle mura tante mattonelle con aforismi. Un percorso della pace che vi conduce ad una visione ancor più pacifica

(Translated by Google) Nice place overlooking the harbor. This is a must-see when in Castellammare del Golfo (Original) Ładne miejsce z widokiem na port. To trzeba zobaczyć będąc w Castellammare del Golfo

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. From here you have a beautiful view of the bay and surrounding area. (Original) Красивое место. Отсюда открывается красивый вид на бухту и окресности.

(Translated by Google) If you go to Castellammare, it is an obligatory stop to take this beautiful staircase which becomes even more evocative if you do it in the evening with the play of lights created against the backdrop of the marina. (Original) Se si va a Castellammare è tappa obbligatoria percorrere questa bella scalinata che diventa ancora più suggestiva se si fa di sera con il gioco di luci che si crea con lo sfondo del porticciolo.

(Translated by Google) A staircase connecting the upper part of Castellammare to the port, where bars and restaurants are located. Very picturesque. (Original) Scalinata che collega la parte alta di Castellammare al porto dove si trovano locali e ristoranti. Molto suggestiva.

(Translated by Google) Bellissima leads down to the promenade with some restaurants to try. Very suggestive view from the bridge (Original) Bellissima scende sulla passeggiata con dei ristorantini da provare. Molto suggestiva vista dal ponte

Nice staff, cold drinks, and comfortable chairs on the small beach in town. Great for a final couple hours on the beach if you don’t have time rent a boat or drive to one of the many coves nearby. (Other reviews cited garbage on the sand but we didn’t see any.)

Nice vibe, good drinks, great place to chill.

Rude staff that just stare at you like morons and extreeemely dirty beach. So sad.

Warm hospitality and very kind staff , we enjoyed very much

(Translated by Google) Set in a small gulf, reachable via a ladder built into the ancient perimeter walls that served to defend the city from pirate attacks, this beach was a pleasant surprise for me. We arrived in the village and as we looked out we saw this spectacle, so we decided to go down and were immediately greeted by the smiling and very friendly staff. The clean beach, the comfortable stations, prices in line with the market, the well-stocked bar, the shower to get rid of the saltiness, what else? Yes, maybe I was forgetting one thing, they say that if you are in a place where the sound of the sea dominates your thoughts, you are in the right place, well that's what happened to me here. Highly recommended (Original) Incastonato in un piccolo golfetto, raggiungibile attraverso una scaletta realizzata nelle antiche mure perimetrali che servivano a difendere la città dagli attacchi pirateschi, questo lido è stato per me una piacevole sorpresa. Siamo arrivati in paese e affacciandoci abbiamo scorto questo spettacolo, decidiamo così di scendere e veniamo subito accolti dal personale sorridente e molto cordiale. La spiaggia pulita, le postazioni comode, prezzo in linea con il mercato, il bar molto fornito, la doccia per togliersi la salsedine, cos'altro? Si, forse una cosa la stavo dimenticando, si dice che se sei in un posto dove il rumore del mare sovrasta i tuoi pensieri, sei nel posto giusto, beh a me qui è accaduto così. Consigliatissimo

(Translated by Google) Lido Petrolo is located in Cala Petrolio in Castellammare del Golfo. Here you can have lunch or enjoy excellent aperitifs, take a deckchair with umbrella and dedicate yourself to complete relaxation. The cove is a few steps from the center of Castellammare del Golfo. Note the coffee, very good. I recommend it to you (Original) Lido Petrolo si trova nella Cala Petrolio di Castellammare del Golfo. Qui puoi pranza o gustarti ottimi aperitivi, prendere la sdraio con ombrellone e dedicarti al completo relax. La cala è a pochi passi dal centro di Castellammare del Golfo. Da notare il caffè, molto buono. Io Ve lo consiglio

(Translated by Google) We were forced to spend half a day at this beach resort, waiting for the car to break down overnight. The beach resort is very expensive, even for just a few hours: €60 for two loungers and an umbrella, forcing us to stay only two people when they wanted to share it between four. The staff was rude and insensitive, making no effort to understand our situation. They took advantage of tourists by offering unreasonable prices, with only three rows of loungers in the middle of nowhere. I asked them to charge my power bank, I left it at 5%, and after two hours they gave it back to me at 20%, noting that when they returned it to me, they hadn't removed the cable... very rude... then they complained about the decline in tourism. Shameful. (Original) Abbiamo dovuto per forza passare mezza giornata in questo lido, in attesta di risolvere la sventura della macchina rotta durante la notte. Lido molto costoso anche solo per qualche ora 60 euro due lettini e ombrellone, obbligandoci per forza a stare solo in due persone quando volevano dividerlo in quattro. Personale scortese e insensibile, senza sforzarsi un minimo per capire la nostra situazione. Se n’è approfittano dei turisti suggerendo prezzi inabbordabili, con solo 3 file di lettini in mezzo al nulla. Ho chiesto la cortesia di farmi caricare il power bank, gliel’ho lasciato al 5% e dopo due ore me lo ridanno al 20%, notando appunto che quando me lo hanno restituito non l’ho hanno sfilato dal cavetto… proprio scortesi…poi si lamentano del calo turistico. Vergognoso.

This tiny beach in Sicily might be better suited for mountain goats than beach lovers. Access is… let’s say “adventurous” — the staircase doesn’t even go all the way down, so you’ll need to channel your inner rock climber to make it to the scattered stones that pass for a beach. As for the view? Not bad, but in a place like Sicily — where stunning beaches are around every corner — this one doesn’t make the highlight reel. If you’re after turquoise water and soft sand, skip this detour. But hey, if you’re looking to burn some calories on your vacation and collect a mildly interesting story, it might just do the trick.

There is parking for 5 euros right by the stairs. Stairs take about 5-10 minutes depending on your ability. We went to many beaches and this was our favorite. Photos do not do it justice.

Little nook of paradise, however it is a little bit difficult to access. After hiking down, you’re greeted by a degrading rusty staircase followed by spiky rocks that you need to cross to get to the pebble beach. However, it’s worth it!

Great place for snorkeling! Lots of fishes, nice rocks. Water was not as transparent as it could when we were there, but still it was a great 2h swimming excercise. A nearby grotte with underwater side exit is an amazing freediving experience. Spiky stones everywhere, some shoes are recommended. The stairs and railings in the bottom are rusted, be careful!

Bit of a steep hike at the very end, but still worth a hike down in the winter - no one will be there and the water is swimmable if you’re brave.

if you want to get away from everything and feel how is like to stay on a secluded beach you should try it. Clear waters, small beach, rather challenging road (5-10 min on some stairs) a small adventure for the free spirits :)

Loved the sea and the place, beautifully amazing. Although it is very dangerous to arrive there. Especially because the only stairs that is there is broken and rustico.

This place is an absolute gem! For a 15 euro basic ticket, you have seating wherever you like (you can move in/out of the shade onto different seats as you choose), guided tour of the tower and you can also visit a WW2 bunker! There are steps down to the sea for swimming. With great views and well-placed seats on a landscaped cliff, this is a perfect place to spend a day sunbathing. My wife and I were there all day and it never got busy or crowded. Recommended!

This is an absolutely amazing spot well worth the money. It's 15 euros for a deck chair with a pretty view and amazing access to water (no beach, just stairs and some rocks but it's not difficult to get in) . It includes parking. And you can swim to the faraglioni and see the Tonarra from the sea if you're not scared of being in deep water. I might come again tomorrow 😅 The staff is also very nice and there's a food truck and a small bar.

Very nice place, the beach was very nice. The staff was really polite and the tour was good as-well. Definitely worth the money!

After reading a few negative reviews, I can be happy that I partially avoided this HORROR. My story begins with the arrival of the car and paying the ticket for two people 30€. I immediately felt some discomfort in the conversation with the girl at the counter. After we paid the tickets and parked. The terror began. Namely, when we got out of the car, we took out a bag with food and drinks. At the same time, we were warned by the worker from the mobile restaurant that we were not allowed to bring food in. While I was thinking for a few seconds what to do with the food that would spoil in the car, another control comes from the girl who looks at us and sings with the worker from the restaurant. I accepted that warning and we decided to get in the car and eat sandwiches. After a few bites, a guy in a golf cart comes and looks at us a little more aggressively as we eat sandwiches in a closed car. I go outside and tell him that there is no point in forbidding us to eat a sandwich. He of course didn't agree with that and said that we could eat the sandwiches on the road outside the parking lot and then come back. My girlfriend laughed at that and he got offended and asked for the tickets to be checked. Then I asked him nicely to give me my money back and that I would leave. Thank God it went without a problem. I would suggest to this team that they invest their money in socializing, traveling where they will learn from real professionals how to do the hospitality business. Of course, the girl will write about her experience soon.😋

It was a great day over here . Place is stunning a piece of paradise actually. Priceless experience staffs are very friendly and helpful and also they have a amazing food and the best spritz’s around . Incredible and unforgettable Well done 👏👏👏👏👏to the team

one of the most beautiful places ever, super kind and professional welcome, especially Gabriele and Pier are lovely, a must-see place.

Great place to sun bathe, relax and swim. Lounge options include lounge chairs and beach chairs. You can have food and drink ordered to bring to you or you can get it from the food truck directly at the parking which is free. Recommend to bring swim goggles to enjoy the underwater view around the cliffs. Recommend to bring single coin euros to use the shower to wash up after swimming in the sea and proper flipflops or sandals (not white sneakers) when you are at the lounge area but wear shoes to walk down to from the parking lot because its not a paved path

Closed every second day. Ridiculous that a beautiful beach can be privatised like this. Also doesn’t open til 10.30. Strange system and has spoiled our 2 nights in the area which was planned around attending this spot.

Don’t come at all, it’s like some sort of private area that someone took and you can’t get to the water at all.

Tourist trap! Avoid. 50 euros per person to go in (June 2023) plus parking. Not worth it. Head over to Zingaro instead

(Translated by Google) Proceeding from Guidaloca in the direction of Scopello, in the territory of Castellammare del Golfo, and following, at the crossroads, the road to the 'Zingaro' oriented natural reserve, near the village, the coastal landscape is dominated by the presence of two watchtowers close to each other. The first and oldest of these occupies the top of a pinnacle that juts out towards the sea, protecting the tuna fishery close to the promontory. It was and is a private tower. The building has a medieval architectural layout, with a ubrectangular plan and irregular structure to adapt to the particular morphology of the substrate. Located 17 meters above sea level, today it is difficult to access; it is likely that it was reached by means of a ladder carved into the rock face. Today it is in precarious conservation conditions (Original) Procedendo da Guidaloca in direzione di Scopello, nel territorio di Castellammare del Golfo, e seguendo, al bivio, la strada per la riserva naturale orientata dello ‘Zingaro’, in corrispondenza del borgo, il paesaggio costiero è dominato dalla presenza di due torri di avvistamento vicine tra loro. La prima e più antica di queste occupa la sommità di un pinnacolo che si protende verso il mare, a protezione della tonnara a ridosso del promontorio. Era ed è una torre di privati. L’edificio ha un impianto architettonico medievale, con pianta ubrettangolare e struttura irregolare per adattarsi alla particolare morfologia del substrato. Posta a 17 metri sul livello del mare, oggi è di difficile accesso; è verosimile che vi si giungesse per mezzo di una scala ricavata nella parete rocciosa. Oggi versa in precarie condizioni di conservazione
