The
coast of Portopalo of Capo Passero gives to the visitors a
very particular morphology, alternating long sandy beaches
to fascinating and suggestive bluffs, with ravines, little
beaches and caves that open on the sea. Scalo Mandrie, really
in town, is the zone that offers this landscape variety of
rock and sand in a scenery that enchants. After a line of
bluff, there is a small beach (really under the Terraces of
Two Seas square) known by the inhabitants of the place with
the name of "Puzziddu" (that is "Little Shaft").
Continuing, there is the principal beach ("U Cuoddu",
that is "The Neck"). The game of the sea tides often
moves the sand, giving so to the beach always new forms. |

| THE ISLAND OF CAPO PASSERO
is a real naturalistic pearl. It is placed really in front
of the beach of Scalo Mandrie, and you enters it through a
special service of little ships: some small boat-shuttle take
the visitors to Scalo mandrie, near the "Madonnina Stella
Maris", and they accompany them on the island to spend
their day of relax. In the part of the island in front of
the country, there are the stores of an old estabilishment
for the working of the tuna, really behind the enchanting
beach. In the opposite part the island is instead rocky, offering
small caves and natural ravines that, with the reflexes of
the sea, has fascinating and suggestive games of light. |

THE
ISLAND OF TIDES is around 7 kms from the inhabited
center. More than a real island, it is with a big rock-cliff
nevertheless very important for the navigation because there
the presence of a lighthouse. In this zone there are long
beaches with crystalline waters and sights that, for the particular
vegetation (typical of the African coasts) and for the presence
of sandy dunes, recall to the mind exotic landscapes. The
island of the Tides is the preferred zone for who wants to
relax himself to direct contact with the nature, away from
crowded and noisy places, but it is also the preferred place
also for the one who loves to practise surf and windsurf in
the winter months, for the favorable climatic conditions.

| The
beach of CARRATOIS PUNTO RIO is the natural
continuation of the beach the island of the Tides. It' a long
sandy shore littoral of some kilometer characterized by very
fine sand and a little deep sea (it needs to go enough away
from the coast to find the tall water), ideal conditions for
families with children. The final line of the beach is very
known by the tourists and also by the people of the place
for the presence of natural heaps of clay that a lot of people
like to strew on body. From a few years the presence of equipped
kioskes favors the comfort of the swimmers. The sunsets of
Carratois are not be missed absolutely. |
