Beach overall scores
Cala Marinella (Trapani) is located outside the Scopello 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, 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
"This beach is a real treat for those who enjoy wasting their time in a sandy wasteland. It's the perfect spot to lazily dip your toes in the water and do absolutely nothing else. The only thing that could make this place more mundane would be if they played elevator music over the loudspeakers. But hey, if that's your thing, then this is the place for you."
Renya and Renzo
"If only we had known, this beach was a hidden gem among the reserve's coves. Regrettably, we opted to venture out in search of a less crowded spot. Our futile trek in the scorching sun was in vain as the final cove was no match for this idyllic paradise."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Cala Marinella (Sicily island) 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 Marinella (Sicily island) 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 Marinella 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.
