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.

It is highly recommended to wear sturdy shoes and have some endurance when visiting this beach. The inclines can be challenging, and there may be loose stones along the way, but it is not overly hazardous or difficult if you have experience with hiking. The beach itself is small and covered in pebbles, making it suitable for a refreshing swim, but not necessarily worth the strenuous trek. Water shoes may come in handy. Shade is scarce until the evening, and the only available seating is in the form of sizable rocks. If you are in dire need of a swim, this beach will suffice, but there are more convenient and superior options to explore on Lipari.

The trail that leads to the shoreline poses a significant risk due to its steep and slippery terrain, which ultimately leads to a precipice. Additionally, a portion of the wall along the path has crumbled, causing pedestrians to scramble on their hands and knees. The perilous conditions were too great, and we chose to retreat despite our sturdy hiking footwear.

Although the path to reach the beach may be challenging, the rewards of the stunning sea view are well worth it. Once you arrive, you can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere without any disturbance from noisy children.

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.

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.
