Sea, beaches and scenic coastline



Cala Rossa - a bay famous for its sheer red rocks and clear water; great for snorkeling, for those who like more "wild" landscapes and also for photography.

La Praiola - the town's main beach, convenient and close to the center; perfect if you are looking for some relaxation without straying too far.

Capo Rama Oriented Nature Reserve - rocky coastline, cliffs, caves and spectacular natural views: ideal for those who like hiking, sea views or a different day than the classic "sun & sand."

Boat excursions - there are tours that take you to discover sea caves, hidden coves and coastlines that are not easily reached from land: a perfect way to see Terrasini from a different perspective.
