Calette Santa Margherita

Calette Santa Margherita is a picturesque beach located in Macari, along the coast of Trapani in Sicily. Renowned for its untouched natural beauty, the beach offers a stunning view of the pristine blue sea and the majestic cliffs that frame it. The beach is characterized by a unique combination of rocks and fine pink sand, which further enhances its appeal. The sea is known for its remarkable transparency, offering visitors a chance to admire the marine flora and fauna - a delight for snorkeling enthusiasts.

Though it is one of the most famous beaches on the Trapani coast, Calette Santa Margherita maintains its peaceful ambiance, offering a serene oasis away from the usual crowded beaches.

Despite the lack of beach clubs, equipped beaches and bars, the beach is not devoid of amenities. It offers a kiosk where visitors can purchase food and drinks, although the prices can be slightly above average. It's advisable to bring your own refreshments, especially drinks and sandwiches, for a relaxing day at the beach. A free shuttle service runs every hour, taking visitors to other coves of the bay. The beach also provides a large free parking area, located about a 5-minute walk from the beach.

Getting to the beach is quite straightforward. It can be easily accessed either by the free shuttle from San Vito or by car. If you're driving, the beach is located on SP16 and can be reached by following SP16 towards San Vito Lo Capo. Look out for a large parking lot on the right side that leads to the beach.

Visitors are advised to bring sandals for swimming due to the rocky nature of the beach. Bringing an umbrella is also recommended, as shade is scarce. Despite these minor inconveniences, Calette Santa Margherita remains an unmissable destination for those seeking a natural beach experience.
