Spiaggia nera di San Giovanni Li Cuti

The shoreline features volcanic black sand bordered by rock formations, offering direct views across the clear waters of the Ionian Sea.

The beach formed through volcanic activity from Mount Etna, with its dark sand composition reflecting centuries of geological processes in Sicily.

Local residents gather at this beach throughout the year, maintaining traditions of summer evening walks and social gatherings near the water.

Visitors can find numerous restaurants and ice cream shops along the waterfront, with public transportation stops located within walking distance.

The mineral-rich black sand contains particles of volcanic rock, creating a natural connection between the sea and Mount Etna's geological influence.
