1. Isola Bella, Italy

2. Marina di Alberese, Italy

Marina di Alberese is in the heart of the Maremma National Park. The beach has next to no services (there are a few chemical toilets here and there and, in Summer, a few food trucks on the main road to the beach). It is never too crowded (although in Summer on Saturdays and Sundays it can be pretty packed) because the access is limited. From the village you can get to the beach by car buying a ticket in advance, by bus (the shuttle runs hourly from the village to the beach) or by bike (you can rent in the village, and it takes around 40 minutes to get to the beach). Behind the beach there is a 3 km (around 2 miles) wide maritime pine wood with a ton of natural life. This is separated from the beach proper by a sand dune with a unique natural environment. The park also allows great horseback daytrips. In the area there are a ton of farmstays where you can rent a bedroom or a whole small apartment for a week or for how long you wish to stay. The water and the sand aren’t superclean, but mainly they are dotted with natural waste: pieces of fallen trees from the woods, or seaweed.

3. Camogli, Italy

The beaches in Liguria are a bit on the narrow side and often covered with pebbles, not sand, but this narrow region compressed between the sea and the mountains have some of the most fascinating coastal areas of Italy. Camogli and the nearby towns have brightly colored houses that allowed the fishermen to identify their home even from afar. Being right in front of the town, the beach do not need to have extravagant services: at any moment you can pop into the town for a meal, a drink , or just some rest.
