Fodor's Expert Review Spiaggia delle Sabbie Nere

A short 15-minute walk from the port, this wide beach features soft powdery black volcanic sand that sits in sharp contrast to the clear crystalline waters. Along the strand, you'll find various beach clubs set up during the summer months with chair and umbrella rentals. During the winter you'll have the whole crescent practically to yourself. It's advised to wear a dark-colored swimsuit as the black sand has been known to discolor fabric.
