About the beach

In the municipality of San Vito Lo Capo, in the province of Trapani (Sicily), Spiaggia di Cala Bove is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Orientation: northwest (301°). 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.

Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.

Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
