About the beach
Cala Tonnarella dell'Uzzo, within San Vito Lo Capo (the province of Trapani, Sicily), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces east (86°). It is most sheltered when the Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Levante (E) or Gregale (NE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
