About the beach
Piraineto beach, within Carini (the province of Palermo, Sicily), is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
“Piraineto beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
The beach faces northeast (32°). It is most sheltered when the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
