Italy offers miles and miles of stunning coastline just waiting to be explored — from soft sandy beaches and hidden coves to dramatic cliffside towns and picturesque seaside villages. A beach holiday in Italy is the perfect way to soak up the sun, enjoy breathtaking scenery, and experience authentic Italian coastal life.

​

Why not combine a visit to the Eternal City with a few relaxing days at the beach in Gaeta or Sperlonga? For dramatic views and iconic seaside towns, head to the Amalfi Coast, or enjoy the golden sands and quieter charm of the Cilento Coast.

Planning a tour of Sicily? Don’t miss Scopello and the pristine beaches of the Zingaro Coastal Reserve. Or head north to Le Cinque Terre for cliff-hugging villages and enjoy dinner by the sea in Vernazza or a peaceful afternoon on the beach in Lerici. For some of Italy’s most spectacular beaches, set your sights on Sardinia, where you’ll find white sands and crystal-clear waters at Is Aruttas, Chia, Spiaggia di Piscinas, Rena Bianca, Spiaggia Della Pelosa, and Cala Goloritzé. Sardinia is simply packed with breathtaking beaches. The Adriatic Coast offers even more variety, from smooth sandy stretches to charming pebbly shores, perfect for relaxed beach days.
