About the beach
In the municipality of Capaci, in the province of Palermo (Sicily), Lido Polizia di Stato Capaci is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The name is that of the beach club mapped on OpenStreetMap for this stretch of beach.
Orientation: northwest (308°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E), keeps it calm; the Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
