Santa Agata di Militello consists of numerous large modern buildings and a church. A long yellow building with a tall, slender chimney, stands close W of the town. A breakwater extends about 350 m NE from the shore on the W side of the town. Anchorage can be obtained off the town in good holding of mud and sand, taking care to avoid the submarine cables which come ashore in the area and the dangerous wreck charted about 750 m ENE of the head of the breakwater.
