Spiaggia delle Sabbie nere, Black sand beach in Vulcano, Aeolian Islands, Italy
The volcanic beach stretches along the western coast of Vulcano island, featuring dark sand that contrasts with the clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach formed through centuries of volcanic activity, with the last major geological transformation occurring during the eruption that created Vulcanello in 183 BC.
The beach represents a natural monument to the geological forces that shaped the Aeolian archipelago, drawing scientists and nature enthusiasts throughout the year.
Visitors can rent sunbeds and umbrellas at the beach establishment, while nearby restaurants serve fresh seafood and traditional Sicilian specialties.
The fine black sand contains high concentrations of iron and other minerals, creating a natural thermal effect that warms the ground during sunny days.
