This is one of the most popular beaches in Palermo; this suburban beach offers crystal clear waters and beautiful sand right by the town of Modello. There’s a small free public section of the beach where you can set up your beach towels, or you can rent a lounge chair and umbrella along the private beach club areas—be early as it gets busy, especially during summer. There are also many waterfront bars and restaurants for a taste of Sicilian cuisine with a view.

On the north end of Mondello Beach, you can rent a boat or hire a boat tour to explore Palermo’s beautiful shore, including Capo Gallo Nature Reserve.
