About the beach
Lingua beach is a rocky stretch of coast in the municipality of Santa Marina Salina, in the province of Messina (Sicily), on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
“Lingua beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.
Facing southeast (124°), 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.
