Italy is a truly blessed nation, providing travellers with an incredible range of sights and experiences. Italy has over 5000 miles of coastline and its beautiful beaches are the ideal spot to relax and rejuvenate amid turquoise waters and beautiful white sand.
Here are top 5 beaches you should visit in Italy
1. Cala Goloritzé
This is a must-visit beach for individuals who enjoy quiet beaches. It’s absolutely gorgeous with a crescent of small white stones and transparent turquoise water. A tall needle of rock, popular with climbers, rises above it. The finest thing is that from the car park in the remote Altopiano del Golgo plateau above Baunei, it’s an hour’s trek down a rocky path.
2. Spiaggia Dei Conigli
Known by another name, Rabbit’s Beach, this is without a doubt one of Italy’s most romantic beaches, with crystal-clear, sparkling water that showcases an incredible colour palette of the most beautiful shades of blue and green. Even though it takes 15 to 20 minutes to get to the sandy shores of this stunning beach on Lampedusa Island, the experience and surroundings are well worth the effort.
3. Calamosche
There is no better place to be than this small beach. With its soft, sandy shore gradually sloping into crystal-clear, aquamarine waters, this nature reserve is a great place to wade out without getting your clothing wet.
4. Balzi Rossi
The westernmost beach in Italy is a must-visit location, just a few hundred meters from the French border and close to an important prehistoric site. This lovely cove, ideal for families, has wave-smoothed white pebbles and is surrounded by stunning rocky promontories that glow red during sunset.
5. Tropea Beach
One of the finest beaches in Italy is located in the charming town of Tropea and has plenty to offer everyone. It is surrounded by a pretty church situated on a rocky outcrop. The calm, clear blue water is ideal for swimming, but for those seeking thrilling beach activities, there’s snorkelling, boat hire and parasailing.
