An authentic corner of the island away from the crowds

Cala del Pozzo is one of Favignana‘s most secluded and peaceful coves, located on the island’s northwest coast. Unlike better-known beaches such as Cala Rossa or Cala Azzurra, silence, unspoiled nature and a wild atmosphere reign here.

Surrounded by barren landscapes and low cliffs, Cala del Pozzo is perfect for those seeking an authentic experience away from the establishments and crowds. The sea is transparent, the seabed mixed between sand and rock, and the entire cove is surrounded by barren nature and Mediterranean scents.

How to get to Cala del Pozzo

The best way to visit it is with a boat or dinghy tour, which allows you to reach it comfortably from the sea, snorkel in clear waters and relax in total privacy. The coast here is hardly accessible from land, which preserves the area from large tourist flows.

Adventure seekers can also get there by land by renting a bike or scooter from downtown Favignana. However, the route is unpaved and unmarked, so it is recommended only for those with a spirit of exploration.

What to do in Cala del Pozzo

Once there, time seems to stand still. Cala del Pozzo is perfect for a long stop: swimming in solitude, snorkeling among the rocks, watching the changing colors of the sea or simply lying in the sun enjoying the peace. There are no facilities or shade, so it is essential to arrive equipped if you are stopping for a long time.

Organized boat tours often suggest a stop here for this very reason: it is one of the last truly “virgin” coves on Favignana, where contact with nature is total.

Useful tips

To make the most of your experience at Cala del Pozzo, here is what we recommend you bring:

• Beach towel, swimsuit and rock shoes
• Snorkeling mask
• Water, snacks and sunscreen
• Camera: water reflections are spectacular

What to see nearby

If you are exploring Favignana by sea, we recommend combining Cala del Pozzo with other outstanding stops along the west coast:

• Cala Rotonda: with its famous natural arch and calm waters
• The Faraglioni: for a plunge into deep water surrounded by majestic cliffs

Each stop is different, but Cala del Pozzo remains the quietest and most intimate-a refuge for those seeking authenticity and pure nature.
