Spiaggia Tre Fontane Lato Ovest, Sandy beach in Campobello di Mazara, Italy
Spiaggia Tre Fontane Lato Ovest is a sandy beach near Campobello di Mazara stretching for about six kilometers of golden sand that slopes gently into the sea. The water remains clear and transparent extending roughly 200 meters offshore.
A tower built in the 17th century near the beach shows the historical Arab-Turkish influence in western Sicily's coastal settlements. This structure dates from an era when pirates regularly attacked the coastline.
Restaurants along the shore serve traditional Sicilian food made with fish that local fishermen catch daily and sell at the nearby market.
The beach offers showers, restrooms, parking areas, and rentals for sunbeds and umbrellas during the summer season. Access and facilities are well-marked and easy to find, especially in the early morning hours.
Natural water springs emerge from coastal rocks into the sea, giving the location its name Tre Fontane meaning three fountains. These underground springs form when groundwater seeps through rock and reaches the surface.
