It is the summer time to go for vacations on some best tourist attractions and spots. Being a boot-shaped peninsula, Italy is covered with beaches on all its sides; so irrespective of which part of the country you go to, you will always have access to beautiful coastlines, clean water, great food, lots of sightseeing opportunities as well as a warm Mediterranean climate.Is it any wonder Italians, inventors of la dolce vita, have perfected the art of the summer beach vacation? T+L finds the best Italian beaches on the coast of Liguria. Read about following best beaches of italy:
Tropea, Reggio-Calabria
The heel of Italy has its beaches, but so does the toe, with sandy shores on both the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas. The beaches at Tropea earn top marks for their wide swathes of sand and for the stylish scene that's earned the town comparisons to St. Tropez. Punctuated by a rocky knoll topped by a small church, Santa Maria dell'Isola, these are some of the most dramatic shores in Southern Italy.
Amalfi Coast
Were they anywhere else, the beaches of the Amalfi Coast wouldn't rate as jaw-dropping. But combined with the sheer cliffs, electric blue waters, hidden coves and overwhelming charms of the Gulf of Naples, the oft-pebbly beaches here merit a visit for their all-around appeal.
La Maremma, Tuscany
South of sizzling Forte dei Marmi, La Maremma is Tuscany's more low-key beach escape: Think of it as the region's Montauk or Santa Monica to Forte's more Malibu or Hamptons. The beaches extend, off and on, roughly 100 miles between Livorno and Monte Argentario through a government-protected "natural park" complete with pine forests, wetlands, wildlife and bird watching. Also hugging the coast? Cattle farms tended by Italian cowboys. It is the beautiful beaches of Tuscany.
Grado and Lignano Sabbiadoro, Friuli
Not far from Venice, these twin resort towns are popular not only with Italians looking for the sand, sun and minimal surf, but also Germans and Austrians who migrate across the Alps every summer to the shores of the Adriatic. (Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria started the trend in the 19th century when he made Grado his preferred summer getaway.) As on Ischia off the Amalfi Coast, there's an added draw to the fine sand and crystal clear water: Grado offers one of the country's best-known spas, with an almost innumerable list of treatments.
