Macari
The hamlet of Macari, near San Vito Lo Capo, is a small village overlooking the homonymous gulf. The landscape is enchanting and varied, the view is lost on the horizon in the sea with a thousand shades of blue, giving a feeling of total relaxation.
This stretch of irregular coast is a mix of sand and rocks that offers magnificent coves with a clear sea, with splendid shades ranging from blue to different shades of turquoise reminiscent of Caribbean beaches, which makes it very suggestive.
The largest beach is that of Baia Santa Margherita, very fascinating for the point in which it is located. Then there is the Bue Marino cove awarded in 2016 by Legambiente. Not far away is the Isulidda beach, at the foot of the homonymous watchtower, a corner where you can swim and visit the caves on the surface of the water
Scopello
Not very far from San Vito Lo Capo, the small seaside village of Scopello is the obligatory stop on every holiday. The village is a place that seems to have stood still in time, where life flows slowly and the streets smell of pane cunzato, a specialty of the area.
The stacks that rise in a clear and uncontaminated sea, majestic, are covered by dense vegetation and the seabed rich in fish. In the background the famous tuna fishery of Scopello, which was owned by the Florios for a time, and which today houses a diving center. Next to the tonnara there is a small and intimate concrete platform that allows access to the sea, also suitable for the little ones.
Moving your gaze above the tonnara, you can admire two towers, the Torre Doria and the Torre Bennistra, built for defensive purposes. The view as a whole is very romantic indeed.
