Spiagge Bianche

Spiagge Bianche, or White Beaches, is a unique beach known for its distinctive white sand and clear turquoise water. The beach's unusual coloration is a result of decades of soda ash production in the nearby industrial complex, which has led to the sand being bleached white. However, this process has also resulted in the presence of lead, mercury, and cadmium exceeding regulated limits, making the beach potentially hazardous. Visitors are advised to exercise caution, particularly with children.

The beach lacks infrastructure, so visitors should come prepared for a day out in the sun as there is no shade available. Despite this, the beach is not typically crowded, allowing visitors to choose their preferred spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. The water is clear and the surrounding area is not particularly romantic, but it offers a unique experience for those seeking something different.

Parking is available, but it is considered overpriced. The beach is also home to a variety of wildlife, including red jellyfish. The area surrounding the beach is rocky and shallow, adding to its unique charm. However, visitors should be aware of potential scams from food vendors in the area. Despite these challenges, Spiagge Bianche offers a unique beach experience for those willing to navigate its quirks.
