White Beach is a picturesque cove located on the coast of Lipari, one of the Aeolian Islands, nestled between the areas of Canneto and Acquacalda. The beach's name is derived from its white sand and crystal-clear water, which are a result of pumice stone sediments from a nearby quarry. The beach is also surrounded by remnants of mining infrastructure and piers, adding a historical touch to its natural beauty.
The beach is known for its unique colors and is a popular destination for both young and adult visitors. The beach's natural characteristics, including its rocky terrain and clear waters, offer a unique and visually stunning landscape. The seabed is rich in pumice stone sediments, which contribute to the beach's crystal clear waters.
White Beach offers a variety of amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable visit. Visitors can rent sunbeds, umbrellas, and loungers either in advance or upon arrival. For children, there are water games available, and for those seeking more active pursuits, a climbing wall and trampoline in the sea are available. The beach also offers Wi-Fi and toilet facilities for convenience.
The beach is well-equipped with a restaurant and bar that are open all day, offering high-quality ingredients and refreshments. In the afternoon, the beach transitions into a pleasant mix of lounge music and aperitifs, which can be enjoyed comfortably under the umbrella. Visitors also have the opportunity to have dinner by the sea, offering a unique dining experience.
Access to White Beach is via a path through Mediterranean vegetation for those who prefer to walk or a boat service from Canneto for a more direct route. However, it should be noted that parking is a bit far from the beach, and the path to the beach is steep and not open to vehicles. Despite these access challenges, the beach can get crowded, particularly in the afternoon. During the summer, the beach hosts nighttime parties that last until dawn, adding to its vibrant atmosphere.
