Just a short walk away from Maronti beach or the village of Sant'Angelo, Le Fumarole Beach is famous for its fumaroles. The fumaroles are hot vapours caused by the underground volcanic activity that heat the sand of the beach to various temperatures.
The sand can be used to treat a range of ailments such as rheumatism or sciatica and locals even use the beach to cook food, such as chicken or fish, under the ground in specially designed containers. The beach itself is one of the prettiest in Ischia. The easiest way to approach it is from the fishing village of Sant'Angelo where you'll find signs directing you towards the beach (La Spiaggia delle Fumarole in Italian). |

The signs direct you along a picturesque path surrounded by quaint and colourful little houses from which you gain a panoramic view of the beach from above with its stunning crystal-clear water.
Close by to the beach is Aphrodite Thermal Gardens and there are also a number of bars, restaurants and beach facilities for hire.

Le Fumarole beach in Sant'Angelo is located on a volcanic basin, rendering the sand extremely hot and dry. Many diseases can be treated thanks to the thermal vapour that gives the sand the same chemical properties of the basin below.
Visitors to the beach are also able to dig sand baths in areas of the beach that are heated to a prescribed temperature, lay in the baths whilst covered in sand, and be naturally treated for a number of different ailments such as: rheumatism, sciatica, arthrophaties or the after-effects of fractures.
