About the beach
San Leonardo is a rocky stretch of coast in the municipality of Pantelleria, in the province of Trapani (Sicily), on the Strait of Sicily.
Facing north (338°), it is sheltered with the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S); with the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
