Capo Zafferano is a serene beach in Santa Flavia, a part of Bagheria, known for its tranquility and picturesque views. It is not heavily visited, contributing to its peaceful ambiance, making it an ideal location for those seeking a quiet place to enjoy the sea. The beach is particularly stunning at sunset, offering a breathtaking backdrop for a relaxing evening.
This beach, also previously known as Lido delle Anime Sante, has since become a private beach equipped with amenities. Access to this beach requires a small fee. However, there is a small pebble beach situated in front of the main beach that is open to the public.
One of the unique features of Capo Zafferano is that from this location, visitors can explore nearby scenic attractions. These include Solanto, an ancient tuna fishery with a castle once owned by the Princes of San Vincenzo, and Fondachello, another small beach in Capo Zafferano.
When it comes to dining, there is a restaurant in the vicinity known for offering a variety of dishes, including both local Sicilian and international cuisine. This restaurant also features a terrace, called "À la Carte" Terrace Amare, that is open from June to September, providing a unique dining experience near the sea. The restaurant is appreciated for its scenic bay views and traditional Sicilian dishes.
Visitors should note that the path leading to the beach can be challenging to find, hence consulting a map before setting off is recommended. Despite the somewhat difficult access, the beauty of Capo Zafferano makes the journey worthwhile.
