The 4 most beautiful beaches of Salina Island: a dream sea

The sea has shaped its coasts. Always the sea offers places to live a vacation dedicated solely to relaxation. If the Aeolian Islands will be your next destination, Salina is an unmissable place. And these are his four most beautiful beaches.

Beaches

1. Spiaggia di Pollara

This is one of the most beautiful beaches of all the Aeolian islands. To give an idea, some scenes from the film Il postino by Massimo Troisi were shot on the Pollara beach. The coastline of volcanic origin is made of stones and dark gravel, the white cliff overlooking the sea is covered with Mediterranean scrub. The Pollara beach can be reached by walking for about thirty minutes along a fairly demanding path that starts from the homonymous inhabited center. Or you can get there by sea, perhaps during a boat trip.

2. Spiaggia dello Scario

It is located on the northern coast of Salina and is one of the most visited and appreciated beaches on the island. Polished stones and pebbles form the Scario beach, an authentic piece of paradise dominated by a steep cliff. The beauty and transparency of the sea do not fear any comparison. Scario beach can be reached along an easy path that, starting from the center of Malfa, will take you to the sea in a few minutes.

3. Spiaggia di Santa Marina

Near the port of the main town of the island. Large rounded stones form a wide coast with a splendid blue sea, where diving will be a real pleasure. If you are looking for a beach that is fairly equipped, easy to reach and suitable for a holiday with children, Santa Marina is your destination.

4. Spiaggia di Rinella

Rinella is the coastal fraction of the municipality of Leni, located south of Salina island. Rinella beach is one of the few sandy beaches in the whole island. Black sand that draws a perfect crescent touched by a turquoise sea. This destination is recommended for snorkeling enthusiasts, who will find depths rich in life and colors. The beach is easily accessible starting from the center of the hamlet of Rinella.
