Kalura Beach is a small, rocky, and secluded beach tucked below the eastern slopes of Rocca di Cefalù. It’s best suited for couples, families, and snorkelers seeking a bit of privacy away from Cefalù’s main beach.
What to Do 📋
- Natural Beauty 🌄 – Kalura Beach is known for its crystal clear turquoise waters, rugged landscape with caves and rock formations, and sense of privacy thanks to the steep cliffs around it.
- Swimming and Sunbathing 🏊♂️ – The beach has mostly deeper waters that get deep rather quickly, making it better for swimming than wading. It also has areas to lay out and sunbathe.
- Snorkeling 🤿 – The clear waters make Kalura Beach ideal for snorkeling. Visitors can spot plenty of fish and sea life. It’s best to wear water shoes for walking on the rocky seafloor.
- Cliff Jumping 🏊♂️ – Some of the braver visitors jump off the 25 foot cliffs into the deeper waters below. But use caution, as the surf can be rough.
- Scenic Views 📸 – There are postcard-worthy views of Cefalù, the sea, and rugged landscapes surrounding Kalura Beach.
