Italy is well known for its beautiful landscapes and beaches. From north to south there are so many stunning places to visit during your stay. Going on holiday in 2020 sounds a little bit tricky I know… But that doesn’t stop me to take you on a digital journey across the country and show you some secret beaches that you can add to your list when you next visit! So you can plan your stay. So… where are these beaches? You might know about some already… like Amalfi, Positano, Tropea and Salento but there are a lot more places not many people know about, not even Italians themselves sometimes.  Most beaches are located in the south, in Campania, Puglia, Calabria and Sicilia but there are stunning places in the north too, for example in Liguria. VernazzaCamogli Below you can find 5 Italian stunning beaches. Check them out! 1. La Spiaggia del Buondormire The name of this beach translates to ”The Beach of the Good Sleep”, it’s located in Cilento (photos below), which is in Campania, the same region as Naples.  This beach is never too crowded and if you enjoy peace and tranquillity this is the perfect place. Maybe that’s why it’s called del Buondormire, you can just go there and have a nap enjoying the sound of nature and the sea. 2. La Bufalara-Sabaudia This beach is located in Sabaudia, as the name suggests and even in the month of August it’s not very crowded. Sabaudia is a small place in the province of Latina, near Rome. The name Bufalara instead, comes from the fact that buffalos are seen around quite often and are left free in this beautiful oasis.  3. La Spiaggia dei 300 Gradini This other beach is located in Lazio, and the name translates to ”The Beach of the 300 Steps”. The beach trait is long 1.5km with beautiful turquoise water all along, protected by rocks where trees and green grow.  Bear in mind that the last 300-400 metres to get to the beach has been destinations for nudists for years, so if you don’t like that practice make sure to avoid that area 🤣 4. La Spiaggia degli Aranci This beach is located in Calabria (photo below), and it means ”The Beach of the Orange Trees”. It’s one of the many beaches of San Foca, a little fishing village in the province of Lecce. It’s the less crowded of them all and it’s a mix of sand and rocks.  The sea here is not that deep and you can easily have nice long walks in the sea itself. 5. La Spiaggia di Punta Crena Located in the north in the region of Liguria, this beach it’s the perfect place for snorkelling. It’s quite small and not so easy to get to but definitely worth the effort. The locals call it la spiaggetta, ”the little beach”, it’s just 40 metres wide and maybe 50 deep. It’s part of Varigotti (photos below), the village close by, a very well know destination. So these are 5 beaches that not all people know about and if you are ever organising a trip to Italy and want to go to places that aren’t full of tourists all the time make sure to check these beautiful natural wonders out.
