Water temperature…
While the historical center of Pollina sits high on a peak in the Madonie Mountains, its coastal section, Finale di Pollina, provides excellent seaside relaxation. The most popular beach is the pebbly and sandy Spiaggia Torre Conca, situated in a sheltered bay below the remains of an old watchtower. Spiaggia allo Scoglio Grande impresses visitors with its dramatic offshore rocks. The crystal-clear Tyrrhenian Sea is well-suited for snorkeling, especially around the rocky edges of Spiaggia Rais Gerbi and the smaller, hidden Caletta Rais Gerbi. Those looking for a quieter environment can enjoy the Sicilian sun at Spiaggia di Santa Maria or the beautiful natural setting of Spiaggia Costa Turchina. Up in the hilltop town, narrow stone-paved streets lead to the Teatro Pietrarosa, a modern open-air theater built in an ancient Greek style. The panoramic views from here extend out to the Aeolian Islands and nearby Cefalù.
