Visiting Italy's picture-perfect Beaches is just something every tourist should see. These beaches are a wonderful photoshoot location to snap a few pics. Most of these beaches include a bit of a hike, but the end result is definitely worth it. Note, some offer free and/or paid parking. August is usually when these destinations are the busiest. Plan accordingly to avoid rush hours. I would recommend early morning or late afternoon during the summer seasons. So, if you want to learn more about which beach would be the best to see, I have listed a few of the favorites I have researched.
Spiaggia di Fegina
The Spiaggia di Fegina beach is located south of Milan along the western edge near the coastal city of La Spezia. Features the Cinque Terre cliffs along this golden pebbly beach.

According to legends, Odysseus is rumored to have been bewitched by the Sirens on the cliffs here. It's best to visit during the Morning or early afternoon as it's the less popular time. There are boat tours of the Faraglioni rock formations as well.

This island offers even more beaches like the Cala Biriala, Cala Sisineand, just to name a few plus many more.
Spiaggia del Principe
Spiaggia del Principe beach is near the small village of Cala di Volpe. From the parking spaces to the beach is about a 10-minute walk. It spans 250 meters long, with good snorkeling spots due to its shallow water.
