Things to do in Palermo, Sicily: The Best Beaches
Palermo is an urban melting pot characterized by history and culture so diverse that it often feels conflicted. Discover an intriguing range of architectural styles, from Arabian domes to baroque buildings, and enjoy delicious cuisine that spans a variety of origins. Be sure to visit the Palace of the Normans, the Palatine Chapel and the church of St. John of the Hermits. Art and music lovers won’t want to miss the Galleria d’Arte Moderna (the “GAM”), the Salinas or an opera or ballet at the Teatro Massimo.

This is a lovely long sandy beach, not too crowded. The east end (towards Palermo) is pretty much a normal beach but also worth walking up to the west end of the beach in what is presumably "old Mondello" with dozens of fishing boats around the old harbour.

Scenic sandy beach located 8 km away from Palermo. Bus line 806 will take you to the beach for 1.4 Euro, departing from Piazza Crispi, in Palermo. This is close to Politeama Garibaldi Theater. There are cabs in front of the bus station that can drive you to the beach for just 4 Euro/person. The landscape around the beach is absolutely spectacular. The water is crystal clear. The only downside is the dozens of vendors strolling up and down the beach, loaded with the stuffs they are trying to sell (donuts, beach toys, souvenirs, coconuts, scarfs, towels and whatever you can imagine). They are very noisy and repetitive. However, the scenery is so spectacular that will make you forget about the beach vendors.
