On the left side of the sea it is possible to admire the caves of Campo Bianco, and on the right side, as a contrast to white colour of pumice, the shining black obsidian coulee of the Rocce Rosse.
On the opposite coast of Lipari there is the Valle Muria Beach, considered together with Bianca Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of the Aeolians.
