    Hiking

    Santa Maria la Scala has a beach of smooth lava rocks. The sea here is bright, clear, and deep. There are beach bars offering beach equipment rentals. There are several parking areas nearby. The town itself belongs to the municipality of Acireale and lies beneath a high cliff, the "Timpa." To the north of the town is the "Grotta delle Palombe" – a complex of basalt columns that, according to legend, was the retreat of the shepherd Aci and his nymph Galatea.
