Nestled on Sicily's northern coast, Campofelice di Roccella offers a relaxed and authentic beach holiday experience. Unlike its bustling neighbour Cefalù, the town provides a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere, making it ideal for families and those seeking tranquility. The coastline is a defining feature, a long and wide expanse that stretches for miles, characterized by a mix of fine sand and smooth pebbles lapped by clear, calm waters. This variety means you can find the perfect spot to unwind, away from the major crowds.
The town's main beach, Lungomare Campofelice di Roccella, is the heart of seaside life and the most convenient choice for a day on the shore. For an unforgettable day trip, the world-famous sands of Spiaggia di Cefalù are just a short drive away, offering a stunning beach set against the backdrop of a historic Norman cathedral. If you enjoy varied coastlines, Spiaggia di Mazzaforno provides a beautiful mix of soft sand and rocky areas to explore. To truly escape, seek out the tranquil cove of Spiaggia di Settefrati, a hidden gem perfect for a peaceful swim.
Beyond its immediate shores, Campofelice di Roccella serves as an excellent and strategic base for exploring more of what Sicily has to offer, from the Madonie mountains to the vibrant city of Palermo. While the town itself is quiet, its prime location allows for easy excursions to regional highlights, though having a car is highly recommended for making the most of your travels.
