Latest reviews on Cefalu's beaches

Torre Conca
4 Nolan Hargrove

The photograph of the beach is breathtakingly beautiful. However, upon visiting the beach, I found that the sand was scorching hot and difficult to walk on. I also noticed some green residue floating in the water, which was not very appealing. Due to the beach's location in a cove, there was no breeze to cool us off. Additionally, the steep climb down to the beach made it unsuitable for anyone looking for an easy visit. Overall, I was disappointed in the poor condition of this beach.

Settefrati beach
8 Nikos Kallias.

To find the beach, we had to ask for directions from people passing by since there were no signs and our GPS was of no help. The streets only had parking restrictions with fines, and the only available parking was on blue lines for a fee of €1 per hour. If you're lucky, you might find a spot near the entrance, about 150-200 meters away, but you may have to walk a considerable distance. Hence, it's best to travel light and wear a hat to protect your head from the sun. The entrance leads to a narrow, dirt path, full of leaves, insects, and plants, and it takes about 10 minutes to reach the beach. So, don't forget anything in the car, and bring all the necessary supplies for a day out, including food and water. The beach is worth the effort, though. It's vast, unspoiled, peaceful, and without any bars or crowds. The sand is fine, and the water is crystal clear and clean, with rocks and pebbles scattered around. However, you can find some rare paths with sand only. You may encounter little fish that nibble on you, which can be a unique experience. However, a part of the beach is reserved for the resort guests, and it's marked by a rope. If you're looking for a relaxing day away from the chaos of the usual beaches, I highly recommend it.

Cefalù beach II

This beach is renowned worldwide for being featured in the movie 'Cinema Paradiso'. It has a rich blend of medieval and Arab influences, creating a unique and timeless atmosphere. The town itself is quaint and charming, with a stunning beach right by its side. I absolutely plan to return for a longer stay in the near future. Thank you, Daill Kim.

Gorgo Lungo beach

This beach is a true gem with its pristine white sand and charming pebbles. It's an ideal spot for families with little ones as the shallow waters provide a safe and enjoyable environment.

Marlin beach

The food was good and cooked well, but unfortunately the table service was lacking. There was only one person taking orders, and they didn't even follow the order of arrival. The head waiter was attentive and noticed after an hour of waiting that we hadn't received our food yet, indicating that our order had been forgotten. The other waiters seemed to be absent and unresponsive. On a positive note, the reception staff was welcoming and friendly. The prices were average.
