Punta Bianca
A white marl headland east of Agrigento. Its scenery resembles the Scala dei Turchi, but it sees far fewer visitors, with clear water and an unspoiled natural setting.
The headland is made of white marl and layered rock walls. Around it lie undeveloped gravel and sand beaches, and the clifftop holds remains of a World War II bunker. You must drive a bumpy dirt road and then walk down to the sea. There are no facilities at all, so bring your own water, food and sun protection. The rock is soft and prone to crumbling, so do not climb it or linger under the cliffs for long. It suits visitors who want to avoid the crowds at the Scala dei Turchi.
