About the beach
In the municipality of Pollina, in the province of Palermo (Sicily), Spiaggia allo Scoglio Grande is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: north (17°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW), keeps it calm; the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
