Nearest sandy beaches to Palermo?

Question

We are arriving by cruise ship and wish to spend the day on the beach, where is the nearst family beach and how much would the taxi fare be?

Answer 1

Mondello. Taxi is terribly expensive

Answer 2

This site has a list of beaches in Palermo and a list of the bus routes that access the beaches: http://www.aapit.pa.it/datas/natura/spia...

I know that Mondello is sandy and about a quarter of an hour bus ride. I haven't been to the other beaches.

Answer 3

Forget the taxi = $  Get the Bus ...

Catch the Autobus Numero 14 /15

to Mondello -

Pay for a " Cabina " at the " Stabilimento "

( Actually built by Mussolini )

And try some local " Fast-food " .

Than again ...If you are only there one day ,

a Taxi would be an option .

The route  around the " Favorita Park  "

The best   ( Faster ) . The fare = Don't know

Never heard of anyone going there by taxi .
