We were staying here on this beach in a holiday home with private access to the ocean.
So we did enjoy this little beach here daily. If you arrive by car, there is a good number of lots right at the main road here. But they fill up very fast. After 10pm it is full - at least in high season. Parking is actually free, even though some local guy will try to charge you.
The beach is free as well, even though there's a small kiosk, where you can rent chairs and get some ice cream and sandwiches.
It is a stone beach, so just a towel will not be very comfortable. And I have to say that there's quite some garbage on the beach.
Besides that, it's a nice little beach. Mostly locals and Italian Tourists gather here, not many international visitors, which is a good thing. The water here is really nice and warm. Very clean as well, at least in the morning. In the afternoon, when the tide changes, more algaes and garbage are being washed close to the beach. So take you swim before that.
It's not a perfect beach. It's not the cleanest. But when the water is still clean it's just so beautifully warm and almost without waves. Really nice. Also to get a glimpse of the local life.
Not worth for a daytrip I guess, but if you're around this area, surely worth a look. After 7pm the kiosk closes and most people will leave. A good moment to enjoy the beach for an evening walk or to let your dog have...
Read moreIt’s fine, clean and the water is nice but the noise and crowd were too much - that’s why 4 stars. There is a kiosk where you can rent sunbeds and an umbrella (€20 for the day for the set) which is not the cheapest but I’ve seen more expensive. You can also buy drinks and paninis there so it’s nice. No toilets though. The gate to the beach is closed during the night. Highly recommend, but maybe not in...

Con una nota la Prefettura di Palermo segnalava la presenza di un presunto ordigno bellico nel tratto di mare antistante la spiaggia dell'ex Kafara Hotel, adagiato su un fondale di circa 4,00 metri, a circa 25 metri dalla battigia. Pur considerando il periodo estivo e la voglia di tutti di volerci divertire liberamente, ho ritenuto dover assumere provvedimenti a tutela dell'incolumita' pubblica e privata, nelle more che il Genio Militare provveda al disinnesco del'ordigno. Pertanto ho disposto con ordinanza n. 26 del 05 Luglio 2021 la chiusura ed interdizione al pubblico della spiaggia del Kafara, con immediato sgombero dei bagnanti( ringrazio per questo intervento la Polizia Municipale, il Circomare di Porticello, i Carabinieri di Santa Flavia e la squadra dei manutentori del Comune) e la chiusura del cancello di accesso. Inoltre l'ordinanza prevede il divieto di permanenza negli immobili antistanti la spiaggia del Kafara e adiacenti l'ex Hotel Kafara. Per la riapertura come dicevo, rimaniamo in attesa dell'intervento del Genio...
