Beautiful stretch of coast perfect for a bicycle ride along the beach from El Bahira to Monte Cofano.
You can now book electric bikes at El Bahira, much easier than navigating the high traffic roads.

Cala Bue Marino
Highlight • Beach
Cala Bue Marino
Voted the most beautiful beach in Italy for the year 2015, in the "The most beautiful is you" competition, announced on the web by Legambiente, this small basin on the Makari coast is truly breathtaking. Even ahead of Camerota, in the Salerno area, which had held the record for two years, whose crystal clear water and pebbles, typical of this coast, fit perfectly into a landscape halfway between sea and mountain.
The beach was also the protagonist of a recent scandal: an attempt was made to create access to the sea with an excavator, causing immeasurable damage to the surrounding environment and irremediably ruining the coast, which falls under state maritime property.
Cala del Bue Marino can be reached by car to the large car park above, on the road that leads from San Vito Lo Capo to Castelluzzo.

Sanctuary of San Vito
Highlight • Religious Site
The sanctuary of San Vito Lo Capo dates back to an early Christian church. The underground baptismal room can be dated to the 5th/5th century AD. From the fifteenth century the church was expanded as a fortified church and therefore gives the appearance of a castle tower today. The town developed around the Sanctuary from the early 19th century. This is how a settlement was created directly on the sea, which belonged to the ancient mother city of Erice, located on the mountain of the same name. Inside the sanctuary there are numerous works of art, such as sculptures by Giacomo Gagini (1587) and by Orazio Ferraro (1624) and by contemporary artists (Kodra, Settembrini, Pedone, Capri Otti, Cassisa, etc.). In the annexes of the sanctuary that is "Sankt-Veits-Museum" housed, handicrafts and devotional items are shown here, and testify to the veneration of St. Vitus. In summer, Holy Mass is read in the garden of the sanctuary.

San Vito Lo Capo Beach
Highlight • Beach
San Vito lo Capo is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the entire region, both for Italians and foreigners.
The Cous Cous Fest, the International Festival of Cultural Integration, is held in San Vito lo Capo, an event that has been renewed for over 20 years. A celebration of flavors and civilization that celebrates Cous Cous as a dish of peace, integration and exchange.
The wonderful crystal clear waters, its light and soft sand surrounded by the vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub, will be the perfect setting for your next holidays in Sicily, a wonderful land. There are civil and religious architectures that can be visited in this renowned tourist location such as the old lighthouse, the Tonnara di Cofano and the Tonnara del Secco.
Among the other treasures to discover are the fortress sanctuary and the Chapel of Santa Crescenzia. The sanctuary is located in the square of the same name which overlooks the historic center of the country of which it is the symbol. It is a structure that combines different styles and components. The architectural elements in fact take inspiration from the civil, military and religious architecture of different historical eras. Inside it is possible to admire a beautiful marble statue of the saint from the 1500s and an imposing main altar. From the top of its tower, built in 1600. You can enjoy a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape. Around the sanctuary there are the rooms that house the museum, small but very interesting to visit, with valuable paintings, sculptures and works of contemporary art.
The Chapel of Santa Crescenzia is a small structure located at the entrance to San Vito lo Capo and was originally an Islamic temple, built by the Arabs in the 13th century. Dedicated to the nurse of Saint Vitus, who is said to have died right there. The Chapel welcomes tourists at the entrance to the town and is one of the symbols of the Sicilian town. Among the most renowned beaches we mention that of Bue Marino, considered the most beautiful in Italy by Legambiente.
Among the most important natural areas, the Zingaro Reserve deserves a mention, a protected area which houses an enchanting beach and a very large tourist village.
Also not to be missed is a visit to the two caves, that of the Cavalli and that of the Uzzo, with the tuna fishery of the same name. The Bue Marino cove is considered a true paradise on earth, for the beauty of its uncontaminated nature which reigns supreme here. The beach is a mix of coarse light sand mixed with pebbles and gravel, while the sea is clean and transparent. Near this beach there is another small wonder of nature, the Isulidda beach, full of caves to explore, perfect for those who love snorkelling and scuba diving. A short distance away are the cliffs of Cala mancina, loved by climbers, full of caves of astonishing beauty.
Speaking of caves, the Uzzo cave, which is located about 10 kilometers from San Vito lo Capo, represents one of the most important prehistoric archaeological sites in the entire region. Inside, remains of human activity from over ten thousand years ago were found. Furthermore, fossils of rhinoceros, lions and mammoths have been found. In more recent times the cave was used as a necropolis. The findings are on display at the Antonio Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum in Palermo.
