Rugges cliffs, fine sandy beaches and turquoise sea – Italy is one of the best tourist destinations in Europe for an extensive beach holiday. But which beach is actually the most beautiful? We show you the hidden gems.
The most beautiful hidden beaches of Italy
La Cinta beach in Sardinia
A three kilometer long, white sandy beach awaits sun-seeking swimmers in Sardinia. The beach, which is one of the longest on the island, slopes gently into the turquoise, crystal clear sea and is therefore a popular destination for families with children. On the small promenade by the beach there are also several cafes and restaurants that invite you to delicious meals and small snacks in between.
Cala del Gesso in Tuscany
On the Monte Agentario peninsula in Tuscany, Italy, swimmers will find the beautiful, natural beach of Cala del Gesso. And although the beach is one of the most beautiful in the whole country, even in the summer months it is rather empty than crowded.
San Vito Lo Capo in Sicily
A long sandy beach, which, combined with rugged rocks and a lively promenade, is the right place for tourists to swim in Sicily. Not far from the small resort of San Vito, tourists will find a real paradise by the sea on the beach of San Vito Lo Capo. Tourists can relax there, engage in water sports and enjoy culinary specialties in one of the many restaurants.
Capo Vaticano in Calabria
Small coves with turquoise blue, crystal clear water and a fine sandy beach surrounded by several rocks – holidaymakers can enjoy this magical sight in Capo Vaticano near Tope. Perched on a rocky outcrop, the cape is a popular destination for beachgoers who would also like to see some of the underwater world off the coast of Italy.
Spiaggia Porto Selvaggio in Puglia
The town of Porto Selvaggio is located in the Italian region of Apulia, in the Nardò marina. It is known for its rugged coastline and natural bays – surrounded by dense and fragrant pine forests. To get to the pebble beach, travelers have to walk for about 20 minutes along a forest path. Another special feature: there are also cold fresh waters in the bay.
Piscine di Venere
Piscine di Venere is not a classic beach. But it still has to be on this list because it is a natural pool with shallow and warm sea water, at the top of Capo di Milazzo in Sicily, separated from the sea by a reef. Divers can see starfish, sea cucumbers and colorful fish there.
Cala Rossa in Favignana
Favignana, a small neighboring island of Sicily, is home to the dream beach of Cala Rossa. The fine sandy beach consists of two picturesque rocky bays. Two bays with crystal clear water are perfect for swimming. However, as the beach is very narrow, relaxing on the beach is quite difficult.
