The area of Castellammare del Golfo, set in one of the most evocative corners of Sicily, offers its visitors two distinct paths, each with its charm and level of adventure, ensuring unforgettable experiences for families and lovers of more dynamic exploration.

Family Itinerary

This route starts from the charming town of Castellammare del Golfo, where history and culture merge in its wonderful churches and in the majestic Arab-Norman castle, witnesses of the strategic and cultural importance of the place over the centuries. From here, visitors can direct their steps to the famous Playa Beach, a true paradise of golden sand and crystal clear waters, ideal for moments of relaxation and family fun.

Continuing towards San Vito Lo Capo, you meet Scopello, a must-see along the route where, in addition to enjoying the beauty of the beach of Guidaloca, you have the opportunity to visit the charming village and taste the traditional pane cunzato, a dish full of local flavors, admiring the view of the ancient Scopello Trap, scenery of an almost unreal beauty.

Adventurous Itinerary

For those who want to completely immerse themselves in the wild and unspoilt nature of Sicily, the second itinerary is the perfect choice. This route allows you to explore the hidden beaches and secret coves that dot the coast between Castellammare del Golfo and the Zingaro Nature Reserve.

No less impressive is the beach of Guida Loca, perfect for a relaxing break. A unique experience is guaranteed by the Antica Tonnara di Scopello, a site of exceptional beauty where the maritime past of the region revives within the historic walls (admission is charged). 

Concluding the adventurous tour, the Zingaro Nature Reserve is a true sanctuary of biodiversity, with paths winding between crystal clear coves and a lush Mediterranean flora. To fully enjoy this experience, it is advisable to wear closed shoes, preparing for an excursion that offers unforgettable views and close encounters with the wild nature of the island.
