Cala Fredda - Levanzo: clear waters and seabed perfect for snorkeling
A quiet cove where the sea takes center stage
Cala Fredda is one of the most popular beaches on Levanzo, the smallest and most unspoiled island of the Egadi Islands. Located a few minutes’ walk from the village of Cala Dogana, it is easily accessible but at the same time preserves an atmosphere of silence and pure nature.
This cove is perfect for those looking for a place to relax, swim and snorkel in clear waters. The seabed is transparent and varied, with sandy and rocky areas ideal for watching fish and marine life.
How to get to Cala Fredda
You can reach Cala Fredda in two ways: by sea or by land. The most impressive way is through a excursion by boat or dinghy, departing from Trapani or Favignana. Tours around Levanzo often include a stop for swimming in this very cove.
Those who disembark in Levanzo can reach it on foot in about 10 minutes from the port, along an easy and accessible scenic path. Along the way you can already admire the turquoise hues of the sea.
Snorkeling and relaxing in a natural environment
The calm, clear waters of Cala Fredda make it one of Levanzo’s best coves for snorkeling. The seabed offers small hollows and reefs populated by fish, urchins and starfish, which are already visible a few meters from the shore.
The cove consists of a small white pebble beach, ideal for peaceful sunbathing. The absence of services and the wild setting make it perfect for those seeking a simple but authentic experience in contact with nature.
