Beach overall scores
Secca beach (Messina) is located outside the Capparo settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Lipari island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Although the descent to the beach may be strenuous, the reward is certainly worth the effort. This secluded spot is not frequented by tourist boats, allowing for a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The crystal-clear waters make it an ideal location for snorkelling enthusiasts to explore the underwater world."
Lena Kessler
"The trail to the beach is navigable, yet it could benefit from some upkeep. Along the way, there is a petite lookout spot that provides a glimpse of the nearby volcano island. However, if you choose the alternate route towards Punto Panorama beyond the observatory, it proves to be a much more rewarding experience."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Secca beach (Messina) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Secca beach (Messina) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Secca beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
