The natural reserve of Capo Gallo is located within the district of Palermo, Mount Gallo separates the two major gulfs of Palermo: the Gulf of Mondello and to Sferracavallo.

The coast is completely made up of rock formations, which make it difficult or virtually impossible to reach the opposite side of the reserve.

Naturism is practiced, coming from the side of Mondello, in the beach area after the lighthouse. At the end of the path is marked with "FKK" and "Nudismo" and such is painted on the rocks, located in the central part of the reserve entering from the side of Sferracavallo.

The beautiful sea that surrounds the area coupled with ragged cliffs and warm breeze makes it a lovely location for a picnic or a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Palermo.
