Bus ride from Palermo, quite busy with school/college kids but ok. Took a bit longer than the 30mins. Nice walk along the beach, friendly people. A bit cool end of March but it was nice and warm in the main square. Light lunch with very nice cold beer was very relaxed and reasonable price wise. Beautiful views, all and all a lovely day out.

Beautiful beach with clear turquoise waters. However, it was packed full of people and parking was a nightmare. I’d recommend catching a bus from Palermo to avoid to parking issues. And pre- booking umbrellas online, as the queues are long especially waiting in the heat and you cannot be guaranteed a beach chair/umbrella as they tend to sell out quickly.

This is the beach closest to Palermo and you could get here by public transport (bus). Recommend to buy ticket from Tobacco shop in advance as busses are full. Ticket for 24 hours cost €3.50 and you can use it on any buses whole day. You need to validate it once you got onto first-bus. Tickets were checked regularly as it was Sunday . We arrived at 10 and already main beaches were Sold out. There is an option to pre book your sun lounge online however we didn’t know we could do that. We joined the queue for the beach where you can book sun lounges on the day. Price is €30 for 2 beds and an umbrella and half price after 2pm. They close at 7pm. You also need to give €2 cash deposit for a bracelet that you need to return at the end of the day. The queue was 45 mins however option to be on public beach was not feasible. It was packed as sardines! The beach itself is beautiful. Water is warm, clean, transparent and looks like Adriatic Sea. There are few places to buy pizza, sandwiches, granatta, ice cream, water. All very reasonable. We loved our day even at the start it was a bit of a hustle. The beach itself

Very nice beach in amazing bay surrounded by mountains.Very clean in the morning untill 10 a.m. But between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m very very crowded and not clean. After 6 p.m. less crowded but still not clean as in the morning.In the morning water is refreshing ,in the evening warm.There are small local restaurant,few night clubs,apartments,one or two hotels,few only for members clubs.In the night is relaxed atmosphere ,people are having lunch,walking or playing basketball.There are old nice vilas.Bus 806 connects it with centre of Palermo until 11 pm.Later there are night busses.It is nice but not exclusive area.

Don't come in July or August. 80% of the beach is given to private establishments - yes 80% & you have to pay at least 15euro to get a sunbed otherwise you have to squeeze onto a tiny section of the beach & it's packed like sardines. Once you're lying there you get hassled to buy tat every 10 seconds very insistently. The water becomes dirty in this period as there are so many people there. The only place for clean water is the nature reserve of Capo Gallo, again you have to pay to enter & there are only rocks - you are not paying the council for this, you are paying private individuals who put up an gate. If you come by car, any free parking is "managed" by people who ask you for money even though the parking is free, if you don't pay they may mark your car.

Mondello is a nice place, are having a wonderful stay, but came mostly for the nice beach, ocean is really nice. But most of the beach are fenced with expensive sunbeds, where most are empty, and everybody else is crammed on very little space, every few minutes a lot of annoying sellers are walking by. Beach is good for swimming but not for a relaxing time. It's silly the rental beds have so much space, and only very few use them.

Honestly the water was full of gunk and nothing like the pictures. Most of the beach is covered in private rental chairs with only small area for public which is extremely crammed. If you want the clear water you’re paying about 20€ per person and you have to buy their food and drink you can’t bring your own. Half the entire beach is also membership only so not very tourist friendly. Honestly was very disappointing I would skip Mondello and go to Termini Immerse the town was very charming and the water was beautiful. If i want to pay to get onto a disappointing beach I’ll just stay home and go to the Jersey Shore.
