The 10 best beaches in Italy

We all know or have we ever heard of some of the most important cities in Italy, but what about the Italian coast? The best beaches in Italy are a treasure that few take advantage of when visiting the country. They seem much less known, but not because they lack beauty. If you are preparing a route through Italy, you cannot avoid adding any of these 10 beautiful and charming beaches to your itinerary. You'll be surprised!

1. Isola dei Conigli, in Sicily

Translated as the Island of the Rabbits, it becomes one of the best beaches in Italy due to the huge number of species that inhabit it, such as the loggerhead turtle, a protected species that use this corner as a nest to lay its eggs. It is located on the southeast coast of Lampedusa Island and, in addition to wildlife, it is also the ideal destination for tourists and those driving enthusiasts who want to enjoy its beautiful crystal clear waters. This island is part of a nature reserve, where the undeniable beauty of its coast and the seabed is preserved. A tip to enjoy this natural corner to the fullest is to arrive early in the morning, since throughout the day it is full of bathers and the tranquility may not be entirely ideal. You must be clear that you will be visiting one of the best islands in Italy.

2. Spiaggia di Cala Rossa, in Sicily

If we talk about wild landscapes, in Sicily we find one of the best beaches in Italy that have this feature. This is Cala Rossa, located south of Favignana Island. According to the legend of the place, the name of Rossa (Red in Italian) is due to the blood that was shed when the Carthaginians were defeated by the Romans in the First Punic War. But it has been revealed that it is not true. The color of the water is because the rocky coast of the beach is reddish, so it makes a great contrast that is reflected in the crystal clear water. This corner is also part of the nature reserve of the Aegadian Islands and is another of the best beaches in Sicily. All this makes it one of the different places where you can enjoy an unusual day on the coast of Italy.

3. Tropea Beach, in Calabria

One of the prettiest and best-preserved old towns in southern Italy is found in Tropea. In addition to being one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, it also stands out thanks to its excellent crystalline sea seasoned with extensive beaches of fine white sand. Tropea is a place to do many activities, from walking through the charming little streets, visiting monuments with history such as its churches, to tasting their delicious ice cream or tasting some local delicacy in one of its many restaurants.

The coves are those corners where any traveler in love with tranquility enjoys it to the fullest. And this is just what happens in Cala Mariolu, converted, for this reason, into one of the best beaches in Sardinia. It has the distinction that, under its exquisite crystalline waters, we find an extensive carpet formed by stones and rocks that take us to a tropical paradise. Its name probably derives from the fact that some monk seals that stole fishing from fishermen gathered here in the past. The beach, an impressive place, is one of the jewels of the Gulf of Orosei. We will find shallow water, fine sand, and beautiful pink stones. It is certainly one of the destinations preferred by travelers for a summer in Italy.
