Italy is flanked by a myriad of beaches of all kinds and for .. all tastes, from long sandy or rocky crowded coasts to small paradises away from mass tourism, where you can enjoy the summer in total peace.
If you do not like to share your place in the sun with thousands of bathers it is not difficult to find enchanting corners of paradise where you can relax and live whole days in close contact with nature and its rhythms.
In every coastal region of the beautiful country you can find uncrowded beaches or coves where you can spend fantastic days, provided you give up some comfort, such as soft sunbeds on which to lie down or kiosks where to refresh after a long swim. Surely, these limitations or the possible difficulties to overcome to reach these surreal places are, however, repaid by the experience of being alone or, in any case, not crowded among thousands of people facing the immensity of the sea.
