The beaches of Cefalù connect the old seaside town with its surrounding coast. Ancient houses overlook the water, while sand, pebbles and rocky coves create a different setting along each stretch.
The seafront beach
The Lungomare is Cefalù's town beach, a sandy stretch close to the historic centre. The scenery includes the Rocca, the cathedral and the houses of the old town. Public sections alternate with beach establishments; available services depend on the season.
Mazzaforno and Caldura
At Mazzaforno, beaches and coves alternate between vegetation and rocks, with sandy and rocky parts of the seabed. Caldura offers a different landscape of pebbles and rocks.
Salinelle and Capo Playa
Salinelle is a long sandy beach. Capo Playa combines sand and pebbles along a coast exposed to the wind. Both offer another view of the coastline beyond the town itself.
Sant'Ambrogio, Pollina and Settefrati
At Sant'Ambrogio, stones, gravel and sandy sections lie below the village. Pollina provides another coastal stop, while the coves and rock formations at Settefrati shape its distinctive scenery.
Porta Marina
Back in the old town, Porta Marina, also known as Porta Pescara, frames a view towards the old harbour. It brings the historic centre and the seashore together in one of Cefalù's memorable views.
For planning, consult the municipality's beach information and check local access, services and sea conditions on the day.
