Ferry seen from Duomo di TrapaniSan Vito Lo Capo
San Vito Lo Capo is an amusing coastal little town, just 28 km. off to Trapani, with a great beach!
Extending below Mount Cofano, a high pointed limestone cliff visible from a distance, San Vito is near the Zingaro Nature Reserve and the hamlet of Scopello, where some scenes of the movie Ocean's Twelve were filmed in 2004. San Vito is known for its annual couscous festival (see below). A good place for a vacation, and Erice and Segesta, two of Sicily's historic jewels, are not far away. This might almost be considered a "secret" spot known to few tourists, presently popular with Germans.
It is only few thousands inhabitants on winter, but many more on summer, you will find lot of bars on the main road and beaches crowded on july august.
San Vito holds a couscous festival the third week of September.
