Spiaggia di Sabbia Nera is a black volcanic beach on Stromboli, with dark sand and pebbles beside clear water. Swim or snorkel to see the underwater seabed, or look for sea glass and pieces of old pottery along the shore. The beach’s dark shoreline contrasts with Stromboli’s smoking volcano, especially in the late afternoon. Wear sturdy water shoes: sharp stones at the sea entrance can make getting into the water uncomfortable.
