Spiaggia Acquacalda, often referred to as the White Beach of Lipari, is a picturesque beach located on the northern coast of Lipari, one of the Aeolian Islands in Sicily, Italy. This beach is known for its white pumice stone deposits, which give it a unique appearance, contrasting with the darker pebbles and clear sea waters. The beach features transparent waters, making it ideal for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. Despite its small size, it remains uncrowded even during peak summer months, offering a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy stunning sunset views and are within walking distance of the nearby village of Acquacalda's amenities.
The beach's surroundings offer a range of activities and amenities, though some areas could benefit from improved maintenance. It is recognized for its environmental quality, having received a prestigious 'Bandiera Blu' award.
Historically, the area has been significant for pumice extraction, which began in the 17th century and continued until 2000, leading to the development of the village. Today, the beach remains a beloved destination for its natural beauty and tranquility.
