Spiaggia di Cefal\u00f9 is the principal urban beach of Cefal\u00f9, a historic town on the northern coast of Sicily, Italy. Located along the Tyrrhenian Sea at the foot of the Norman cathedral and beneath the rocky promontory known as La Rocca, the beach forms an integral part of the town\u2019s cultural and natural landscape. Its combination of sandy shoreline and medieval architecture makes it one of the most recognizable coastal settings in Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cathedral above the beach is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site \u201cArab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefal\u00f9 and Monreale\u201d, listed in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
