The property has a stunning view across the bay of Castellammare del Golfo - perfect for watching the sun rise. There are good places to dine within a few minutes drive either at Castellemmare or in Scopello. The nearest 'beach' Fossa Dello Stinco is a short but rocky walk from the apartment however we would recommend the Cala Mazzo di Sciacca just the other side of Scopello - easy parking, great snorkelling (especiallly to the eastern rocks), and on-site facilities. The nearest beaches in Zingaro were much more popular but it is pricey to get in (10 € each entry), beaches were crowded and the hike to and from was not really worthwhile.
If buying groceries to self-cater best head to Alcamo (Lidl and Deco) as these are much cheaper and better stocked than nearer smaller stores. Also take a decent kitchen knife along!
Also check out the pastries from the Bar La Sorgente in C del G - delicious!
