Spiaggia bue marino, Beach on Favignana Island, Italy.
Description
This coastal location on Favignana Island features clear turquoise waters surrounded by limestone cliffs and rocky formations that create a secluded cove environment with natural shelter areas and exploration opportunities.
History
The beach derives its name from Mediterranean monk seals that historically inhabited these waters, and the area contains remnants of old limestone quarrying operations that left behind tunnels and caves.
Culture
Local fishermen traditionally used the nearby caves and rocky coves for shelter and storage, while the site remains part of Sicily's maritime heritage within the Aegadian archipelago.
Practical
Access requires a 5-kilometer bicycle ride from Favignana's ferry terminal, and visitors must descend steps from cliff viewpoints or scramble over rocks to reach the water area.
