Acquacalda Beach is a stunning destination located in the picturesque village of Acquacalda on the northern coast of Lipari, part of the Aeolian Islands in Sicily, Italy. The beach is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, making it an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling. Its unique feature is the presence of white pumice deposits, which give the beach a distinctive appearance. The area offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere, often less crowded compared to other beaches in the area.
The beach's setting, with a majestic white pumice mountain in the background, provides breathtaking views. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil environment, perfect for relaxation and sunbathing. The area is equipped with basic amenities like bars and restaurants, enhancing the overall experience for tourists.
Historically, the village of Acquacalda was known for pumice extraction, which ceased in 2000 following the inclusion of the Aeolian Islands in the UNESCO World Heritage List for their unique geological features.
