About the beach
In the municipality of Castellammare del Golfo, in the province of Trapani (Sicily), Spiaggia Playa is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: north (6°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW), keeps it calm; the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
