Cala Minnola beach (Trapani) is located outside the Levanzo settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Levanzo island and the correct question is not how to get to Cala Minnola beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

User reviews

"The pristine waters of this beach are a sight to behold, providing the ideal setting for a much-needed break. Despite the 20-minute walk under the scorching Sicilian sun, my companions and I visited this beach thrice during our three-night stay on the island. There's something truly enchanting about this place that draws you in and keeps you coming back for more."

Alessia Rizzo

"This beach is an absolute gem, but it's important to note that it's only accessible by water. It's a must-visit spot for anyone who loves secluded beaches and crystal-clear waters."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Minnola beach (Trapani) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Minnola beach (Trapani) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Minnola beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
