Spiaggia dei Conigli

Spiaggia dei Conigli, Lampedusa is a rare spot that never fails to attract visitors with its tremendous beauty, with waters the color of topaz and a bay that stands inside a sloping, rocky shoreline. Many visitors refer to it as 'rabbit beach,' and it is located in a nature reserve on the lonely island of Lampedusa, south of Sicily.

Loggerhead turtles return year each year to lay their eggs on the warm sands – and, significantly, the beach closes in the nights to allow the turtles to safely return. This gorgeous beach was once named the best in the world, but getting there is no simple task.

The two-kilometer scramble down rocks to La Spiaggia dei Conigli is worth it for a cold swim in the clear water. This beach can get crowded with sunbathers and day-trippers, but once you take a dip in the glittering shallows and snorkel out to see the turtles, tranquillity floods over you.
