About the beach
Cala Capreria, within San Vito Lo Capo (the province of Trapani, Sicily), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces northeast (55°). It is most sheltered when the Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Gregale (NE) or Levante (E) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
