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.

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

La Scissice beach

10 Ravina Patel.

To get to La Forbice beach, also known as Praia Ferrante, head south and park your scooter at the coordinates 38.453030,14.959340. From there, follow a path that starts off passing through some houses and then leads into a wooded area. The descent can be steep, but after about 15 minutes of walking, you'll arrive at this beautiful paradise.

Secca beach

6 Sandy.

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.
