Two of Vulcano’s beaches are nestled near the main town. The “Sabbie Nere” (Black Sand Beach) so called because of its black sand of volcanic origin stretches along a fine bay, the beach of the “Fumarole” is bathed by warm waters that are heated by bubbles of sulphurous steam. The seclude but beautiful and less frequented “Gelso” beach in on the opposite side of the island. Excursions to the “Grotta del Cavallo” and “Piscina di Venere” are highly recommended. To reach these places you will enjoy the view of Vulcano’s most beautiful jagged shoreline sometimes resembling tentacles plunging into the sea, its colour ranging from red to yellow and featuring a scenery of wild and haunting beauty. This is a paradise for skin and scuba divers, where the sea depths are stunning with sponges and orange coloured corals. Read more about the Terme.
