Palermo is great for the Arts. A bit hectic. People flock to Taormina for the beach. I personally don’t like to walk on pebbles. For me, the best beaches I’ve been to is in San Leone, near Agrigento. Long stretches of fine sandy beaches along the southern coast of Sicily are all fine powder. Also, there are many hidden or seldom used beaches such as Punta Bianca. I’ve been to a few, but was taken there by my relatives that know all the short cuts.

Agrigento is about an hours ride south and has lots of Ancient Roman and Greek ruins and artifacts, including a huge museum dedicated to the same.
Plenty of hotels to choose from.
I think you’re better suited in or near Agrigento since it also has a pretty good night life in San Leone during the summer only. If you do reconsider, you’re better off flying into Catania instead of Palermo.
