Day passes to enter the Tonnara di Scopello are €25, while children up to 7 years old enter for free. Admission includes a visit to the on-site museum—guided tours are sometimes available, or you can explore on your own—and the use of a deckchair for the day along the waterfront in the tiny private cove.

It only takes a few minutes to visit the museum, but most visitors spend the remainder of the day swimming and sunbathing in the crystalline waters of the adjacent bay. Outside food and drink are not allowed, but there is a snack bar where bathers can purchase light dishes for lunch.
