Spiaggia della Costa Sud is a beach located in a prime position with a beautiful view of the harbor and mountains. The beach is characterized by its warm sea and strong waves.
However, it is not a typical sandy beach, but rather filled with sea rocks and stones, which can make swimming a bit challenging and uncomfortable, especially for those who are not strong swimmers. Walking along the shore barefoot can be a bit unpleasant due to the stones, but some find it to be a great feet massage experience.
The beach is generally quiet and not crowded, making it a nice spot for relaxing and enjoying the cool sea breeze.
Despite its natural beauty, the beach has been noted for its cleanliness issues, with trash and waste often found scattered around. The water at Spiaggia della Costa Sud is not as clear as other beaches in and around Palermo, and there are also large rocks in the water that can pose a hazard to swimmers.
The beach is also in close proximity to a fish market, which can contribute to the smell in the area.
Visitor reviews highlight the beach's excellent location with warm sea and beautiful views of the harbor and mountains as its main attractions. They also appreciate the quiet, uncrowded atmosphere and the unique experience of a rocky beach, which some find enjoyable for foot massages despite making swimming a bit challenging. However, visitors complain about the beach's cleanliness, citing excessive trash and a lack of municipal cleaning, as well as the discomfort caused by small pebbles and large, sharp rocks both on the shore and in the water.
