The Lungomare Campofelice di Roccella is a beach in the town of Campofelice di Roccella, located in the Palermo region of Sicily. The beach is part of the "I Luoghi del Cuore" project by the Italian Environmental Fund (FAI), an initiative aimed at preserving and promoting Italy's cultural and environmental heritage.
The beach is known for its stunning sunsets and expansive ocean views, offering a tranquil setting for those who appreciate nature's beauty. The beach is distinguished by its long promenade, providing an inviting space for leisurely walks and relaxation.
The cleanliness of Lungomare Campofelice di Roccella is particularly noteworthy, setting it apart from other regional beaches. The shoreline is a mix of sand and pebbles, with the composition changing as one approaches the water's edge. On windy days, the vigorous waves can sweep away many of the pebbles, leaving behind a predominantly sandy beach. The clarity of the water can vary, however, depending on the prevailing weather conditions.
During the summer months, the beach tends to be quite crowded, drawing both locals and tourists. However, it becomes quieter in the winter months, making it a perfect getaway for those who prefer a more serene beach experience.
For the convenience of visitors, there is a row of parking lots available at the beach. Additionally, there are a few bars along the promenade serving traditional beach fare, such as ice cream, coffee, and paninis. The operating hours of these establishments can vary, particularly during the off-season.
Despite its natural attractions and amenities, some visitors have suggested that the beach could benefit from improved maintenance. Nevertheless, the Lungomare Campofelice di Roccella continues to be a cherished destination, offering a blend of natural beauty, tranquility, and convenience.
