Tonnara di Scopello — things you should know before visiting 🐟
One of Sicily’s most photographed spots and honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen on the island. But before you go, here are a few things that will help you plan your visit:
🎟️ Entry ticket 25€
The ticket includes access to the Tonnara, the museum, a sunbed, and the beach area.
📅 Book in advance
Tickets can be booked online up to 15 days ahead and often sell out quickly in summer. Same-day online booking isn’t possible, although limited walk-in tickets may be available.
🕐 Opening hours
Typically open daily from 10:30 AM. Closing times vary by season and there may be occasional early closures due to private events, so always check the official calendar before visiting.
🏖️ What to expect
Tonnara di Scopello is a historic tuna fishery that has been transformed into a boutique hotel. As a day visitor, you’ll have access to the iconic cove, crystal-clear water, and one of the most photographed views in Sicily.
🅿️ Parking tip
Use “Parcheggio Tonnara di Scopello,” which is the closest parking area. Avoid parking at Parcheggio Grande di Scopello unless you don’t mind a longer walk.
🥤 Facilities
There is a small shop selling drinks and snacks, but don’t expect full beach club facilities and there are no showers.
🚫 Drones are not allowed.
💭 Is it worth it?
It’s undeniably stunning and looks even better in person than in photos. However, between tickets and parking, a couple can easily spend around €70–€80 for a few hours here, so bear that in mind.
Am I happy I visited? Absolutely. However, I would return here only if I stayed at the hotel next time.
Save this for your Sicily trip ☀️
