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.

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
