Memorial Day in San Vito Lo Capo

This is the second Memorial Day we have spent in San Vito Lo Capo, a beach town on the Northwest side of the island. 

We “camp” in a cabin that is equipped with a porch with a table, a kitchenette stocked with some basic cooking supplies with a small dining table, bunk beds at the other end of the kitchen, a separate bedroom, and a bathroom.

  We bring all of our own food, grill, and other toiletries and kitchen necessities.  The car is generally packed to the absolute limit because I haven’t figured out how to not pack “just in case” items.  Maybe next year!

We have been with friends and we stay on a little street in the back of the campground that has 3 cabins on each side of the street, facing each other.  At mealtime, tables are pulled in the middle of the street and we all pile our food out and eat family style.  The kids have a blast running around with water guns, playing hide and seek, and watching movies in each other’s cabins.  The parents have a blast sitting around the fire… sans kids… see previous sentence!

We arrived on Friday evening and took the time to get settled in and let the kids play.  Bright and early Saturday morning, we were off to the beach.   This year it was a little chilly which didn’t distract many of the kids, but mine aren’t fond of being cold.  They played in the sand and ate snacks.  Brady braved the water every once in a while, but then he would come sit next to me with a towel wrapped around him as his teeth chattered. 

After coming back to the cabin to rest for a few hours, we took a walk through town.  The beach is beautiful and the town is certainly charming with flowered terraces and various shops.  You can tell it is very much geared towards tourists which is ok when you are one!
