About the beach
In the municipality of Lipari, in the province of Messina (Sicily), Spiaggia delle Sabbie nere is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: north (359°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE), keeps it calm; the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW) hits it from the sea and can raise waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
