About the beach
Plaia dei Nacchi, within Favignana (the province of Trapani, Sicily), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces northeast (60°). 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. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
