    Spiaggia Caldura

    The beach of the "Kalura" defined, by experts in the field, as the beach with unique characteristics in the world. Overhanging the sea is located in the district "Calura" in Cefalù, Sicily. It's hard to find but worth getting to this lovely place. Immersed in a context characterized by a typical Mediterranean vegetation, composed of succulents, prickly pears and pine trees, space is made between rocks with a unique and unmistakable shape. A few meters from the shoreline are the protagonists of the stacks with suggestive shapes and characteristic colors.On days with great visibility you can clearly see the Aeolian islands on the horizon: Alicudi, Filicudi, Lipari and Vulcano. The water temperature is above average, and for most of the summer the body of water is always very clear and you can see the sandy bottom up to ten meters deep. Ideal place for snorkeling

    Bastione di Capo Marchiafava (pass by)

    The Bastion of Capo Marchiafava is an ancient defensive bulwark of Cefalù with a polygonal shape and its tip projected towards the sea. Completed in 1642, it is the most advanced stronghold north of the fortification system of the small village. The name Marchiafava is the union of the Arabic term Marsa, which means port and the Sicilian word favara which indicates a spring. The presence of a water well at this point is, in fact, already attested in 1546. From the small viewpoint of the Bastion of Capo Marchiafava you can enjoy a beautiful view. Looking to the right, a short distance away you can see the so-called “drunk rock”. According to a legend, in fact, this outcrop would have wrecked a ship carrying a load of wine. On some special days you can see some of the Aeolian Islands on the horizon. There is, in fact, an ancient saying that goes like this: “When the island appears either sirocco or mistral.”

    Spiaggia della Vecchia Marina

    One of the places you will remember with the greatest pleasure when thinking about your holiday in Cefalu is the Old Port, also called “Il Molo” by many.Let’s say first of all that the Old Port is the ideal place to take beautiful photos of Cefalù, especially at sunset, considering that from here you can see the Rocca, the entire coast of Cefalù and the top of the Duomo.At the Old Port of Cefalù it seems to go back in time, since you have the impression of still being in an ancient fishing village where boats were moored almost under the house, in that strip of sand that today sees many tourists relaxing in the sun.This is the beach of the Cefaludesi even before tourists, so here it is easy to find locals. If you want you can move to the adjacent pier to take a dip, take some pictures or to observe the fish from the dock.

    Lungomare Cristoforo Colombo

    Cefalù Beach, or “Lido Cefalù” or simply “Lungomare” as the locals call it, is very close to the town (for the toponymy is the Lungomare Giuseppe Giardina) and extends for almost two kilometers.It is a beautiful beach of fine sand, accessible by several staircases distributed along the road above.There are a dozen equipped beaches and some stretches of free beach, so you can choose whether to pay for services or not.Certainly we can include it among the most beautiful beaches in Sicily.Among other things, we repeat that it is a very central beach and close to the town, so right in front there are dozens of bars, ice cream parlors, restaurants, pizzerias, sandwiches and pubs where you can also spend the after dinner.

    Spiaggia di Mazzaforno

    Just three kilometers from Cefalù, Mazzaforno is a seaside resort that gives its name to its small coves, those sandy or pebble beaches and their emerald and turquoise sea. A stretch of coast easily accessible from State Road 113 towards Palermo, following the signs for Mazzaforno, at the gates of the Norman town.The setting for the beach and the sea is a landscape that touches peaks of extraordinary colors: from the bright green of the mountain to the bright colors of the stones, up to the blue stairs of the water that gradually becomes deeper, perfect for those who want to explore the bottom, for fans of scuba diving and snorkeling.Despite its breadth is not comparable to the long beach of Cefalù, that of Mazzaforno is besieged by tourists engaged in their frenetic search for relaxation or the hoped-for summer tan. Small yes, but beautiful.

    Q: Will I get seasick on Cefalù : Mini Yacht Tour with Aperitif, Snorkeling and Caves?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
