La Pineta

Western Sicily


You couldn't ask for a peachier beach setting. From the entrance of the Foce del Belice nature preserve on Marinella's far eastern edge, a gravel track leads down to the sand and this sizeable beach shack with corrugated-iron roof. Its terrace, peppered with royal-blue parasols, is particularly dreamy after dark when bamboo torches set it aglow. Grilled fish and finger-licking seafood are the specialities.
