PALERMO MARE HOLIDAYS · SFERRACAVALLO
Stay by the sea in Sferracavallo and choose a different outing each morning. From Palermo Mare Holidays, at Via Torretta 7, walk towards Barcarello, spend the day in Mondello or Capaci, then return for dinner in the village or a quiet moment on the panoramic terrace.
Your holiday starts in Sferracavallo. Walk to the waterfront and towards Barcarello, try a different beach each day and come back to relax on our panoramic terrace. If you’re driving, ask us about private parking on request.
In the Bay of Corallo, the village beach is within walking reach from Palermo Mare Holidays. The shore has a beach club and a kiosk with a sea-facing terrace. Ask local operators about windsurfing and other water activities. Afterwards, stop for gelato, street food or fish at a local trattoria.
Explore Sferracavallo
Follow the coast from Sferracavallo towards Barcarello on foot or by bike where permitted. The shore has coves, small sandy stretches and clear water. Fossa del Gallo and Grotta dell’Olio feature in the reserve guide. Check routes and conditions before visiting, snorkelling or taking a boat trip.
Explore Capo Gallo
Pale sand and clear water set the scene for a beach day and a walk through the village. Beach clubs offer parasols, loungers and cabins subject to availability. The beach gets busy in summer, and the waterfront comes alive at sunset. From Sferracavallo, consider cycling or public transport depending on the route and timetable.
West of Sferracavallo, Isola delle Femmine and Capaci make an easy coastal outing. Capaci has a long stretch of golden sand, shallow water, public sections and beach clubs. Families have plenty of room, while some venues host seasonal music and events in the evening.
Pair a morning on Cefalù’s beach with a walk through the old town. Beach clubs offer equipment hire and family facilities. For a change of scenery, spend another day exploring the inland villages of the Madonie.
On the Gulf of Castellammare, Balestrate alternates summer beach clubs with public stretches of sand. Ask local operators about boat hire and routes towards Castellammare del Golfo and the Zingaro Reserve.
Near Cinisi, Terrasini alternates small beaches with reddish cliffs. Cala Rossa is a good spot for coastal photography. Check the route before going down, especially with children. For diving, ask local operators about trips suited to your experience.
East of Palermo, the Santa Flavia and Olivella coastline is known for rocky shores and clear water. Spend the day by the sea, then try Sicilian food at a village restaurant. Check directly with beach clubs about services for your dates.
