Punta Secca

Punta Secca is called by the locals "a sicca" (the dry), probably because of the poor rains or because of the small rocks in front of the beach. It is a small village and it is well known for the house of Inspector Montalbano and his swims.


The village was occupied by Byzantines, Arabs and Normans. It had several names, including: "Raʾs Karam", "Capo Scaramia" and, recently, "Capo Scalambri" from which the tower Scalambri takes its name. This was a defensive coastal tower dating back to the sixteenth century. In 1766 fish warehouses were built (where there is Rosengarten restaurant now) and in 1767 the small church of Santa Maria di Porto Salvo was built.

The symbol of the village is its lighthouse that, with its 35 meters, stands high as to protect the territory and its inhabitants; it was built for will of the Bourbon government in 1858-59 and it was designed by Eng. Nicolò Diliberto D'Anna.

The center of Punta Secca and its seafront are pedestrian areas during almost all day, so you can enjoy a walk.
Punta Secca boasts sandy free beaches, clear sea and shallow waters, therefore it is also suitable for children; in fact it has been awarded with the Green Flag (it evaluates if a beach is suitable for children or not).

There are several bars, where you can taste the typical cannolo or brioche with granita; there are restaurants, especially fish restaurants, where you can taste the specialities of the place. If you come here, you can not miss a breathtaking sunset over the sea from the Belvedere.
