San Leone
Agrigento's seaside district, with a long sandy beach, and along the seafront boulevard, bathing establishments, seafood restaurants and bars. Summer evenings are lively.
San Leone lies about 7 km south of the Valley of the Temples. It is the favorite summer resort of locals, with a wide, gently sloping beach that suits families. The seafront promenade is good for an evening stroll and sunset, and restaurants serve Sicilian seafood pasta and fried seafood. Summer weekends are crowded and parking is hard to find, so take a city bus. Off-season it is quieter, but there are plenty of places to stay.
