Ficogrande, Black sand beach in Lipari, Italy
Ficogrande stretches for two kilometers along the eastern coast, featuring dark volcanic sand that marks the geological character of the Aeolian archipelago.
The beach formation resulted from centuries of volcanic activity from nearby Stromboli, which has been continuously active for over 2,000 years.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at the small pier dividing the beach, connecting present-day visitors to the maritime heritage of Lipari.
The beach offers both free access areas and sections with rental services for beach equipment, including umbrellas, sunbeds, and water sports gear.
From the shoreline, visitors can observe the ancient volcanic plug of Strombolicchio rising from the Mediterranean Sea like a natural lighthouse.
