Mondello Beach
Spiaggia di Mondello
A white-sand bay more than 10 km north of the city, nestled between two mountains, with clear turquoise water and an old Liberty-style bathing house built out over the sea.
Mondello lies in a bay between Monte Pellegrino and Monte Gallo. It was once a small fishing village, but in the early 20th century it developed into a seaside resort for the people of Palermo. The curved white sand beach stretches about 1.5 km, and the water is clear and calm, which makes it good for swimming. The Liberty-style bathing house on the pier over the sea is its landmark. Part of the beach is paid (umbrella and sunbed rental), and there are also free areas. The seafront street is lined with seafood restaurants, where you can try sea urchin pasta. From the Politeama area, the bus takes about 30 to 40 minutes.
