Corso Ruggiero is the pedestrianized main drag of Cefalù, awash with the passeggiata see-and-be-seen evening stroll and lined with shops and modest palazzi culminating in the piazza before the mighty twin-towered Duomo.
From the Museo Mandralisca just off Corso Ruggiero, continue down via Mandralisca to Via Vittorio Emanuele.
Turn left down Via V. Emamuele to where Discesa Fiume leads right down to the Lavatoio, a medieval Laundromat complete with stone washing and rinsing basins and wedge-shaped scrubbing slabs.
Head the other way down Via Vittorio Emanuele to glimpse into the dock-front rooms on the left where fishermen mend their nets, and finally spill left into the little fishing wharf itself, where the pebbly beach is filled with sun-bleached wooden boats and (in summer) suntanned swimmers.
The famous, uneven row of waterfront boathouses with their yawning Gothic arches was used for several scenes in the film Cinema Paradiso, including the outdoor night screening of films (the bit with the rain and the kiss on the docks).
