About the beach
Spiaggia delle Punte, within Lipari (the province of Messina, Sicily), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces south (166°). It is most sheltered when the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
