As the French writer Jean-Claude Izzo once said: "By the sea, happiness comes by itself." This saying is all the more true if the sea washes a beautiful beach with soft white sand and crystal clear water.

Contrary to popular belief, to enjoy the wonderful beaches and the clearest sea, it is not necessary to fly to the Caribbean or to the ends of the world. In Italy, there are also many such places, and every year they are awarded by the Legambiente environmental organization with the Bandiera Blu sign (Italian Blue Flag). This year, a record number of beaches with crystal water is registered in the classification of places worthy of mention at the international level - 269 names, this is 21 beaches more than last year. We selected the top ten among them, based on the criteria of beauty and spectacular landscape.

Sultry Italy is one of the best places in the world for a beach holiday. Among 269 beaches with crystal clear water, we have selected best beaches in italy and described them in this article.

1. Rabbit Beach

Let's start our review from the most amazing beach in Italy, which is known as Rabbit Beach. It is located on the island of Lampedusa. A few years ago, according to users of the international tourism portal, this beach was recognized as the most beautiful in the world. Comments are superfluous - sky-blue water, gentle, white sand, picturesque caves, rough vegetation, speak for themselves. The coast is, as it were, cut off from the whole world, which allows you to feel alone with nature.

Getting to Rabbit Beach is relatively difficult. Even if you have a scooter or car at your disposal, you will have to leave them and walk for about 15 minutes along a winding mountain path. But the effort is worth it.

2 Cala Rossa

Cala Rossa is the most picturesque beach on the Italian island of Favignana. Previously, there was a quarry in these places. The ruins that remain of it today and the limestone cliffs give the impression that you are in some kind of fantasy movie. The beach does not have a traditional sandy shore with a gradual entry into the water. But the sand on the seabed and turquoise water will satisfy even the most demanding tourists. The absence of waves allows you to enjoy not only swimming, but also, for example, diving to the seabed with a mask and fins.

3. Cala Mariolu

The list of the best beaches in Italy could not but include Cala Mariolu beach. Just imagine: gentle, white sand, which is washed by crystal clear water, surrounded by rocks covered with white marble pebbles. Such a look is able to fall in love with itself at first sight and forever remain in the heart. But that's not all, as no less entertaining landscapes await you underwater. All this is the beach of Cala Mariolu in the Gulf of Orosei.

This place is suitable for those who want privacy. Since it is quite difficult to get to the beach on foot, the best way to do this is by boat, which can be rented from one of the nearby ports. Also on the beach it is convenient to relax with the whole family. The depth at Cala Mariola increases gradually, and there are no undercurrents and holes at the bottom, so you don’t have to worry if the kids want to play in shallow water.

4. San Vito lo Capo

Who would have thought that the romantic beach from the heavenly Bounty advertisement could be located in Europe, and not somewhere in the Caribbean. Azure-emerald waves and snow-white sand on the shores of Sicily are located just three dozen kilometers from the famous Palermo. And what is an Italian beach without brutal rocks. They dilute the excessive "sweetness" of the surrounding exterior.

San Vito Lo Capo is about three kilometers long. There are bars, sports grounds, rental points for umbrellas, sun loungers and other equipment on the beach. All this makes the beach a favorite place for tourists and locals to relax.

5. Cala Dragunara

If you do not like to spend your holidays at sea in a crowd of vacationers, then Cala Dragunara, one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy, will undoubtedly suit you. The landscape here, as always, is beautiful: azure-blue sea, golden sand, cliffs with crevices and cliffs, and reefs especially valuable for diving enthusiasts. The highlight of the beach was the picturesque Grotto of Neptune. You can get there on a sightseeing boat, which sails several times a day from the shores of the beach.

Despite the fact that the bay is located far from the city, the infrastructure here is excellently developed. Cafe, parking, sun lounger rental, etc. will make your holiday on Cala Dragunara beach pleasant and devoid of worries. The only downside is that you can't get here by public transport. But if you rent a car or travel on your own, then this problem will not affect you.

6. Marina del Isola

In the farthest point of Italy, there is truly the best beach on the Tyrrhenian coast. It will not be an exaggeration to say that Marina del Isola is a fabulous place. At the top of a cliff, overgrown with bizarre greenery, and cutting right into the sea, there is a beautiful church of the same name.

Since getting here is quite easy, it is often crowded here. But coming to this beach is not even worth swimming in crystal clear water, but at least enjoying the beauty created by nature in alliance with man.

7. Cala Violina

Each of the participants in the ranking of the best beaches in Italy has its own zest. By the seventh place, you will not surprise anyone with azure crystal water and snow-white sand. But the beach, which is located in the center of the reserve, and even with a quartz-sandy shore, is perhaps possible. When you walk on small grains of quartz, you get the impression that violins are playing around. Cala Violina beach is especially amazing at sunset.

8. Fetovaia

A lagoon with white sand and clear water is located in the south of Elba Island. Reliable defenders of Fetovaia beach are granite rocks and other hills surrounding it from three sides. The bottom is shallow and sloping, which makes the beach suitable for swimming with babies or for those who are unsure of their swimming abilities. It is almost always crowded here, so hiding from prying eyes on this beach will not be easy. However, if you walk along the coast, you can find quite attractive quiet places.

9. La Pelosa

La Pelosa is the best sandy beach in Sardinia, located next to the Italian city of Stintino. Here you will find white gentle sand and dazzling turquoise water at any time of the year. The beach offers a magnificent view of the symbol of the city - the Aragonese tower, built in the 16th century, which is 18 meters long.

Asinara Island protects the beach from gusts of wind and other weather conditions, so the waters on La Pelosa are calm and comfortable for relaxing. Another attraction of the beach is the thickets of juniper and myrtle, which cover almost the entire surrounding area.

10. Cavoli

Elba Island is rich not only in Fetovaia beach. No less popular in these places is Cavoli, which is also one of the most picturesque beaches in Italy. Moreover, its popularity is extremely difficult to explain. Between the sea and the road there is a small sandy area, this is the beach. It is full of tourists all year round. The surrounding exterior is mostly bars, but there are relatively wild areas around the edges.

Although this beach has its own peculiarity - a good depth begins quite close to the coast. In addition, the sand contains small granite particles, which, reflected in the water, give the impression that the bottom is strewn with gold. Also, swimming off the coast of Cavoli, you can see the island of Monte Cristo, shrouded in mysteries, and succumb to the romantic mood that the famous story written by A. Dumas evokes.

11. San Michele

San Michele is one of the coziest beaches in Italy. If you are tired of the white sands and blue waves of paradise, head to this beach. Instead of sand, there are small pebbles and stones, and the coast itself is surrounded by a rock densely overgrown with emerald greenery. Remarkably, the color of the sea here is also emerald. You can get to the beach by bus, for a nominal fee.

12. Capriccioli

Capriccioli is a nice Italian beach in the commune of Arzachena. The coast is covered with light gray sand and surrounded by massive rocks. The air here is saturated with healing substances.
