10 Exceptional

This serene beach is a tranquil oasis, far from the hustle and bustle of Mondello. However, whether it's your cup of tea depends on your preferences. It's important to note that there are no amenities like toilets, showers or lidos, but the peaceful atmosphere is worth it. The beach is a popular spot for families and is covered in pebbles rather than sand. It's easily accessible by bus and there's a spacious bar nearby where you can grab some food, water, and ice cream.

Looking for a beach that's not crawling with tourists? Look no further than this local gem. Sure, it may not be the cleanest spot around, but the water is crystal clear and the laid-back vibe is unbeatable. Plus, it's just a stone's throw from Palermo, so you can easily pop over for a day trip. Don't expect all the bells and whistles of a fancy resort, but if you're in the mood for a low-key day in the sun, this is the spot for you.
