The wildest shore: Spiaggia Lunga

If you're seeking tranquillity and a deep connection with nature, Spiaggia Lunga is a true paradise. Located a short distance from the village, this black sand beach offers an untouched, peaceful atmosphere, far less crowded than other areas of the island.

The crystal-clear waters make it an irresistible destination for snorkelling enthusiasts. 

You can reach Spiaggia Lunga with a short walk from Stromboli’s centre, or, for a more exclusive experience, rent a boat and sail there.

Ficogrande: comfort and convenience

Ficogrande is Stromboli’s most famous and well-equipped beach. Here, you’ll find beach clubs, bars, and restaurants, ensuring maximum comfort for a relaxing day by the sea.

One of its best features is the gentle sloping seabed, making it safe and enjoyable for children, while giving parents peace of mind.

Located close to the village, Ficogrande is easily accessible on foot from Casa Erica.

Spiaggia della Forgia Vecchia: a hidden gem of peace

If you’re looking for a semi-secret beach, far from the tourist crowds, Spiaggia della Forgia Vecchia is the perfect retreat.

This small pebble and volcanic sand beach, located near the port, offers a serene and relaxing atmosphere.

Due to the presence of stones on the seabed, we recommend wearing water shoes for a more comfortable swim.

📍 Distance from Casa Erica: 1 km

Piscità: a haven for snorkelling lovers

Spiaggia Lunga isn’t the only must-visit beach for snorkelling fans. Piscità, with its natural pools and vibrant marine life, is another unmissable destination for those eager to explore underwater wonders. 🤿❤️

Beyond its stunning seabed, Piscità’s rocky coastline features fascinating lava formations, making it a spectacular spot both above and below the waterline.

This beach is located just minutes from Stromboli’s centre and offers several easy access points to the sea, making it ideal for underwater exploration.

📍 Distance from Casa Erica: 1.6 km

Strombolicchio: an unmissable excursion

Strombolicchio, located 1.5 km northeast of Stromboli, is clearly visible from Casa Erica’s terrace and is the last remnant of an ancient underwater volcano.

Although it doesn’t have a beach, we couldn’t leave it out of this guide, because if you visit Stromboli, swimming near Strombolicchio is an experience you simply can’t miss.

From its breathtaking panoramic views to its marine biodiversity, this spot is a must for snorkelling lovers and a photographer’s dream.

Many local tour operators run guided boat trips from Stromboli’s port to visit this incredible islet and its scenic surroundings. If you prefer to explore at your own pace, you can also rent a boat and enjoy the adventure independently.
