Spiaggia Forgia Vecchia

Forgia Vecchia is a striking black volcanic pebble beach on the southern side of Lipari, where you anchor off and swim ashore through crystal-clear water that shows off every shade of blue. The dark volcanic stones give it a raw, otherworldly look that's totally different from your typical Mediterranean beach. It's a quieter spot compared to the busier stretches closer to town, so you'll often have it largely to yourself.
