The Journey
Kalura Beach
Kalura Beach, nestled in the Calura district of Cefalù, is celebrated as a unique coastal gem. Its secluded location, framed by typical Mediterranean flora like succulents, prickly pears, and pine trees growing amidst uniquely shaped rocks, makes it a haven for those seeking tranquility. The sea, often warmer than average and exceptionally clear, reveals sandy bottoms ideal for snorkeling. On clear days, the Aeolian Islands—Alicudi, Filicudi, Lipari, and Vulcano—grace the horizon, offering a panoramic spectacle. Its untouched beauty makes Kalura a must-visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking a serene escape.
Bastion of Capo Marchiafava
The Bastion of Capo Marchiafava, completed in 1642, stands as a historical sentinel on Cefalù's northern edge. Its polygonal shape juts dramatically towards the sea, providing breathtaking views. The name 'Marchiafava' marries Arabic (Marsa, meaning port) and Sicilian (favara, meaning spring), reflecting the area's rich cultural heritage and the presence of a water well dating back to 1546. From its viewpoint, one can spot the 'drunk rock,' linked to a local legend of a wine-laden shipwreck. Keep an eye out for the Aeolian Islands on the horizon, a sign of changing weather according to local lore: 'When the island appears either sirocco or mistral.' This bastion offers both historical insight and stunning coastal vistas.
Old Port of Cefalù ('Il Molo')
The Old Port of Cefalù, affectionately known as 'Il Molo,' transports you back in time to an ancient fishing village. Picture-perfect, especially at sunset, it offers stunning views of the Rocca, the coastline, and the Duomo. The port, once a bustling hub for local fishermen who moored their boats right by their homes, now serves as a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike. Relax on the sandy strip, take a dip from the pier, or simply observe the marine life from the dock. This authentic slice of Cefalù provides a genuine glimpse into the town's maritime past and present.
Cefalù Beach ('Lido Cefalù' or 'Lungomare')
Cefalù Beach, also known as 'Lido Cefalù' or 'Lungomare,' stretches for nearly two kilometers along the town's edge. Easily accessible via staircases from the Lungomare Giuseppe Giardina, this fine sandy beach offers a perfect blend of relaxation and convenience. Choose from a dozen equipped beaches with full services or opt for a free stretch of sand. Considered one of Sicily's most beautiful beaches, its central location puts you steps away from numerous bars, ice cream parlors, restaurants, and pubs, making it ideal for a day of sun, sea, and culinary delights.
Mazzaforno Beach
Just three kilometers from Cefalù, Mazzaforno is a charming seaside escape characterized by its small, picturesque coves with sandy or pebble beaches and striking emerald and turquoise waters. Easily reached from State Road 113 towards Palermo, the landscape bursts with vibrant colors, from the green mountains to the colorful stones, leading to the deep blue sea—perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. While smaller than Cefalù's main beach, Mazzaforno is a sought-after destination for those seeking relaxation and a sun-kissed tan in a more intimate setting. Its beauty and tranquility make it a must-visit for beach lovers.
