The Top 25 of TripAdvisor

What is the most beautiful beach in the world? According to TripAdvisor users, it is the Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island (Australia): it is that extraordinary game of sand and turquoise waters that has won the area Travelers' Choice 2021. The Brazilian Baia do Sancho after two years at the top drops to third place, while the Cuban Santa Maria di Cayo Santa Maria goes to second. The first (and only) Italian, however, is precisely the Rabbits Beach of Lampedusa, awarded with this motivation: “It is one of the wonders of the world. White sand beach, turquoise water, refreshing sea breeze. Get ready for a 20 minute walk to reach it, but once there you will feel like you are not even on Earth ”.

Everything about the Lampedusa Rabbit Beach

The Rabbit Beach and theRabbit Island they are among the most extraordinary places in Italy. The islet, which measures only 4 × 4 meters, is a protected nature reserve and - in very rare cases - is joined to the coast by a isthmus impromptu 30 meters long (the last time it appeared was in 2008). Why is it called that? Because, in the first nautical chart that names him, Captain Smith calls him "Rabit Island"(From Arabic"rabit“, Which connects). However, there are those who argue that there is one at the origin of the name colony of rabbits arrived on the island taking advantage of the sandy isthmus. What is certain is that it is a fairytale place. In which even the loggerhead turtles they come to lay their eggs.

How to reach the bay

To reach the Spiaggia dei Conigli it is necessary walk for about twenty minutes on the dirt driveway. About halfway, the view takes your breath away: going up to the natural terrace, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views of Lampedusa. A little further on, then, appears the Domenico Modugno's villa. It was here that the unforgettable singer-songwriter spent the last moments of his life, looking at that crystalline sea that he had renamed "God's pool". A nickname that just can't be guessed more.
