Spiaggia dei Conigli, or Rabbit Beach, is on Lampedusa’s southern coast, opposite the small Isola dei Conigli. White sand, clear turquoise water and marine life make this a place to linger by the shore or swim when conditions allow. The setting is rugged, and reaching the beach involves a long walk. There are no beach services, so bring water, snacks and your own shade. The beach’s name refers to the islet offshore, not to rabbits.
The name and the islet
Spiaggia dei Conigli means Rabbit Beach, but the name comes from Isola dei Conigli, the islet opposite the shore. At times, waves and tides create a strip of sand connecting the islet to the larger island.
Plan for a self-sufficient beach visit
There are no bars or bathrooms on the beach. The walk down takes time, so bring what you need for your stay, including water, snacks and shade. If you are visiting in August, reserve access in advance.
