San Vito Lo Capo, Coastal commune in Trapani, Sicily, Italy
The Mediterranean resort extends along a sandy beach, bordered by limestone cliffs and clear waters at the foot of Monte Monaco mountain.
Established in 1859, this former fishing settlement grew around a fortress sanctuary that protected local inhabitants from maritime invasions during medieval times.
The annual Cous Cous Fest in September brings together chefs from multiple nations to compete and showcase variations of this traditional North African dish.
The beach stretches for three kilometers along the coast, offering rental services for umbrellas, chairs, and water sports equipment from April to October.
The coastal cliffs contain more than 1600 established climbing routes across four kilometers, making it one of Sicily's primary climbing destinations.
