Spiaggia dell'Asino, Black sand beach in Lipari, Italy
The beach extends along the southern coast of Lipari, featuring dark volcanic sand shores contrasting with the bright Mediterranean waters.
The beach earned its name from local farmers who historically used donkeys to transport goods along the coastal paths of the Aeolian archipelago.
Local families gather at the beach during summer evenings to share traditional Sicilian meals and celebrate community events near the shore.
Visitors can rent sun loungers and umbrellas at the beach club, which also includes a restaurant serving fresh seafood and local specialties.
The waters surrounding the beach contain small fragments of obsidian, creating a sparkling effect when sunlight hits the surface.
