Pozzallo is a destination that may not offer much in terms of activities, but its beach alone is worth the trip. During our visit in September, the weather was still hot and the water was surprisingly warm - it felt like we were getting into a jacuzzi! The sand was incredibly soft, unlike anything we had ever experienced before.
If you plan to spend the day in Pozzallo, be prepared for the rhythms of Sicilian life. When we arrived at 10am, everything seemed to be closed. There were few options for breakfast, so it's best to eat beforehand or bring some light snacks. Most restaurants open for lunch between 12:30-14:30 and then close for a few hours. The city comes alive again around 5-6pm, when shops and restaurants reopen. We only found one souvenir shop during our visit, but it gave us a glimpse into traditional Sicilian life.
Overall, Pozzallo is a must-visit destination solely for its stunning beach. It's unlike any other beach we've experienced and is truly a natural wonder.
