Black Sands beach

6 Sara Capella

This place has the potential to be stunning, as it's conveniently located near the port and offers free access. The scenery is truly breathtaking. However, it was quite disappointing to find it dirty. In just a 20-meter radius, we managed to gather a whole bag of trash. To make matters worse, there was even plastic floating in the water. It's truly disheartening.

Mulberry beach

This beach may be small, but it's a lovely sight.

Acque Calde beach

10 Jessa

Welcome to the land of the black beach! This unique spot boasts small hot springs that bubble up from the sea water right at the beach's edge. The aroma may be strong, but don't let that deter you from taking a dip - my kids absolutely adored splashing around in these natural hot tubs. So come on down and soak up the one-of-a-kind experience that this beach has to offer!

Mulberry beach II

Unique and unparalleled, the beach offers an experience like no other. It's a shame that the lighthouse has been left abandoned, but the stunning views from the top of the hill are worth the climb. The descent to the shore is smooth and easy, while the ascent back up is a bit more challenging but rewarding. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for those seeking a one-of-a-kind adventure.
