Monte Cofano Nature Reserve
Riserva naturale orientata Monte Cofano
A limestone mountain rising straight out of the sea. A coastal loop trail links a watchtower, bays and dwarf palm scrub
Monte Cofano is a limestone peak rising straight out of the sea, about 659 meters high. The surrounding area is a nature reserve, covered with Mediterranean dwarf palms and wildflowers. The most popular route is the coastal loop trail, about 5 km one way. Along the way you pass the 16th-century San Giovanni Tower and several clear little coves where you can swim. Experienced hikers can take steep routes to the summit. The trail is free. In summer, set out early and bring plenty of water. Monte Cofano is near Custonaci, between Trapani and San Vito Lo Capo.
