I took my kids to an active volcanic island in Sicily
Briefly

A family trip to Stromboli, part of the Aeolian Islands, revealed an active volcano with unique black sand beaches. The family's Airbnb experience began with a tuk-tuk ride through the car-free island, which excited the children. The beach offered hours of entertainment with its rocky terrain and abundant sea glass. Warm water was attributed to the volcano's hydrothermal activity. A night boat excursion brought an opportunity to witness the volcanic eruptions, making the trip memorable, ultimately declared as the best vacation ever.
Our family of five visited Stromboli, an island off the north coast of Sicily, in June. The sand around the island is black due to the island's active volcano.
We stayed in Stromboli, one of the seven Aeolian Islands off the north coast of Sicily. My husband was thrilled by the idea of staying in Stromboli, the furthest island and an active volcano.
The house we rented had access to a small beach. My kids gasped when they saw the sand was black from volcanic activity.
We took a boat out to see the volcano erupt at night. It was indeed an active volcano. It was our best vacation ever.
