What to See & Do in Lampedusa

 Spiaggia dei Conigli (Rabbit Beach)
Regularly named among the world’s most spectacular beaches, this crescent of white sand and impossibly clear water offers swimming and sunbathing in a setting of effortless beauty. The surrounding marine reserve is a nesting site for loggerhead turtles, especially in summer.

Boat Excursions & Hidden Coves
Explore Lampedusa’s coastline by private boat to access grottoes and secret beaches reachable only by water. Swimming, snorkeling, and floating in calm turquoise bays are highlights of any visit.

Marine Protected Area
The island is part of a protected marine zone with remarkable underwater visibility. Snorkel or dive to encounter colorful fish, fascinating rock formations, and, with luck, dolphins gliding through the blue.

Cala Pulcino & Cala Creta
Smaller, more secluded coves framed by rugged cliffs and silent rock faces, ideal for those seeking quiet solitude in nature.

 Island Flavors & Local Culture
Lampedusa’s cuisine blends Sicilian seafood traditions with North African influences—expertly grilled fish, local capers, fresh pasta, and simple vibrant salads highlight the island’s gastronomic identity. Island cafés and trattorie offer welcoming, unhurried hospitality.
