The Castellammare coast
Caladell'Uzzo
White gravel, the Torre dell'Uzzo and our stop in the Zingaro.
A white gravel beach near the Torre and the Grotta dell'Uzzo, not to be confused with the better-known Tonnarella. Here, near the evocative Lovers' Cave, we make the stop called Cala Torre dell'Uzzo.
Swimming here is a unique experience: deep, intensely blue water, surrounded by wild nature. Underwater, the orange corals in the first photo have also been observed.
The Grotta dell'Uzzo is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Sicily: human traces from about 10,000 years ago have been found here, from a small group of hunters who used it as a shelter, along with even older animal remains. The Torre dell'Uzzo dominates this stretch of coast, about 10 km from San Vito Lo Capo.
The second photo shows the nearby Cala Tonnarella dell'Uzzo.
