About the beach
Ai Pini is a rocky stretch of coast in the municipality of Pollina, in the province of Palermo (Sicily), on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Facing north (343°), it is sheltered with the Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE); with the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
