It is perplexing to me why this particular beach is often mentioned in articles about Lipari. The beach presents a rather disheartening sight, showcasing the island's decline. The remnants of old quarries are scattered about, neglected and forgotten, casting a shadow on the otherwise picturesque landscape. I implore you to consider other options and avoid this beach altogether.

The shoreline adjacent to the industrial zone may not seem like a typical beach destination, yet the locals assure me of its charm. However, upon personal inspection, I find it to be rather ordinary and unremarkable. The only notable feature is the pristine quality of the water.

4 Frustrating

The allure of this beach may have faded over the years, and it may be more worthwhile to discover a secluded, untouched shoreline. Regrettably, the highly acclaimed eatery that once graced this location has since shuttered its doors.

This charming beach appears to be a hidden gem frequented mainly by the locals. The water is crystal clear and pleasantly warm, inviting visitors to take a dip in its refreshing embrace. A quaint food and drink stand, doubling as a restaurant, is available for those seeking a tasty bite or a thirst-quenching beverage.

The shoreline is covered in smooth pebbles and the water is so clear, you can see straight to the bottom. A few places to grab a drink or relax on a lounger with an umbrella are available for rent. The location is quite peculiar though, as it's situated in an abandoned pumice quarry, surrounded by factories and conveyor belts.
