Cala Bianca, Marettimo: a Caribbean beach in Sicily

The most beautiful among the beaches of Marettimo? To answer this question, we can say that they would all be seen. But there is one that, thanks to its location, the scenery and the amazing colour of its waters, could be considered special: we are talking about the famous Cala Bianca beach.

The beach

Cala Bianca is a small rocky cove overlooked by granite cliff. But most of all, the reason that attracts so many people is the spectacular turquoise colour of its waters: they are so transparent that you can see the shade of the boat on the seabed.

The beach is for those who want to admire a unique and unforgettable seascape. Here’s what awaits you:

Get there on foot

The path is quite challenging, so it’s recommended to experienced hikers. Starting from the old port, take the path that, towards north, leads to punta Troia.

• At the fork, follow the road signs to Cala Bianca.
• A here, a very challenging path begins: the trail becomes narrow.
• You arrive at the promontory of punta Mugnone.
• Walk along the last part of the path, which is also the most demanding.

Get there by boat

This is definitely the easiest way to visit this real naturalistic jewel. From the port of Marettimo, every day, various boat excursions depart, allowing visitors to visit the whole coast. Tour that, of course, includes a plunge into the sea of some of the most beautiful coves, such Cala Bianca.
