About the beach
Spiaggia dell'Asino is a rocky stretch of coast in the municipality of Lipari, in the province of Messina (Sicily), on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Facing southeast (131°), it is sheltered with the Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W); with the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
