Capo San Vito

Fodor's Review:

Capo San Vito, 40 km (25 mi) north of Erice, is a cape with a long sandy beach on a promontory overlooking a bay in the Gulf of Castellammare. The town here, San Vito Lo Capo, is famous for its North African couscous, made with fish instead of meat. In late September it hosts the five-day Cous Cous Fest, a serious international couscous competition and festival with live music and plenty of free tastings.
