Beaches in Sicily. With all the beautiful beaches in Sicily, sun, sea and beach lovers are certainly in for a treat! The coastal towns of Balestrate, Castellammare del Golfo, Trappeto and Alcamo Marina are excellent locations to enjoy the warm Sicilian sun, the large sandy beaches and the azure blue water of the Golfo di Castellammare. Balestrate has two beaches, one sandy beach to the east of the new harbor and the large beach on the west side of town. During high season, parts of these beaches are occupied by so called lidi (plural of lido), or lidos, which are private beaches where you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas.
Sicily's coasts offer some fascinating features. Capo Bianco, near the archeological site of Eraclea Minoa (and the town of Montallegro) at the mouth of the Platani River west of Agrigento, has a beach in the shadow of white cliffs.
