Beach overall scores
Bovo Marina (Agrigento) is located outside the Eraclea Minoa 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 Sicily island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Bovo Marina with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"While it's a decent beach, it's not exactly one of the top spots on the island. Despite that, there are a variety of bars to choose from and it's not overly crowded. However, when we visited, the water wasn't as crystal clear as we had hoped. On the plus side, we enjoyed a pleasant 25-minute walk to the nearby Torre Salsa."
Nathan Jorvis
"The beach boasts a long stretch of white sand, interspersed with bars and restaurants. The sea is stunning, displaying shades of blue that are simply breathtaking. However, it's a shame that some individuals fail to respect the environment and litter the area."
