  • Spiaggia Sabbie Nere (Vulcano): This beach is widely known as the ‘Black Sands Beach’ for the only reason that the beaches of this sand are black. If you desire to have a real and true beaching experience then this is the place to be. Apart from the beaches, you can also make a trip to the other sites of Sicily, which are:
