The Bastion, defined around 1600, represents the northern end of the city walls surrounding Cefalù on the sea side; it is the highest point, and on this was built the polygonal base platform with the tip projected towards the sea, almost like the bow of a boat. The suggestive and elevated position compared to the city centre allows a perfect view over the entire gulf in front of the city, with the Madonie mountains behind to protect Cefalu from the inside, almost like a safe embrace that continues the work of defence of the defence walls.

One of the best things about the Old Marina is its location, being so close to the historic city centre. This makes Cefalù beach popular and accessible, along with the fine sand, clear water and breathtaking views that surround it.

It is a beautiful and long sandy beach that stretches for about 5 kilometres along the coast, offering breathtaking views of the turquoise sea and the historic city. The beach of Lungomare di Cefalù is an ideal place for both tourists and locals to enjoy the warm Sicilian sun. You can choose from a number of private beaches that offer sunbeds and umbrellas for a fee, or find a place in the public areas that are free.

Sea and mountains, sand and rocks, the beach of Mazzaforno is a small treasure set in a heterogeneous landscape that leaves the gaze of tourists and spectators "only" the wonder of nature. Just three kilometres from Cefalù, Mazzaforno is a seaside resort that gives its name to its small coves, those sandy or pebble beaches and their emerald and turquoise sea. The setting for the beach and the sea is a landscape that touches peaks of extraordinary colours: from the bright green of the mountain to the bright colours of the stones, up to the blue stairs of the water that gradually becomes deeper, perfect for those who want to explore the bottom, for fans of scuba diving and snorkelling. Considered by tourists one of the most beautiful beaches in Cefalù, Mazzaforno is clean, organised thanks to the presence of lidos and bars.
