Today, in this article, we are going to explore the beautiful seafront of Cefalù. Getting to know the place better, knowing what to see and where to eat, is extremely useful when going on vacation in Cefalù. The town beach along the seafront, rich in picturesque views, makes the coastline of Cefalù a true attraction for tourists and locals alike.
The seafront, named after Giuseppe Giardina, is one of the most well-known in all of Sicily. This has always been a place that strongly characterizes the Norman town, representing the true and central focal point of summer.
It’s fair to admit that there are very few places that can compete with this location, capable of fully appreciating a simple family stroll or perhaps a brisk walk to stay in perfect shape.
Speaking of brisk walks, many people, when the good weather begins, go to the seafront daily to do sports. This is even more frequent since work has been carried out on the seafront, which included the installation of equipment and games aimed at training and entertaining, even for the little ones.
To the east of the seafront is the old marina, overlooked by the imposing mass of the rock and the beautiful Norman cathedral. This beach extends for about 1.5 km and is composed of fine, golden sand washed by a splendid clear and crystalline sea. Throughout the summer season, which often begins in May and extends until October, the beach hosts most of the city’s nightlife.
Here’s what to see and where to eat along the Cefalù seafront
Speaking, instead, of places to eat, we can say that the seafront of Cefalù hosts numerous restaurants, as well as bars, hotels, and bathing establishments that populate it greatly and that, especially in the spring and summer months, make it extraordinarily lively.
More specifically, we can say that the entire seafront is enriched with restaurants that follow one another, sharing the outdoor space. Among these, we have: the restaurant Il Ragno D’oro, Antares, Al Gabbiano, and Tivitti, followed by many others that we will talk about later. If you don’t feel like sitting down at a restaurant, you can then go to Foodda where you can enjoy delicious sandwiches and hamburgers prepared on the spot.
But it doesn’t end there because in the summer, the seafront hosts many of the events that enrich the life of Cefalù, starting from sports events, passing through motor events, fairs, endless exhibitions, concerts, and various other activities of great cultural value.
In short, from this, you can understand very well that you can’t say you’ve been to Cefalù if you haven’t walked at least once on its seafront, perhaps enjoying a tasty ice cream, a cannolo, or one of the many Sicilian delicacies that are easy to find in every corner of the magical place made even more special by its enchanted sea.
