Italy<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean coast is home to some of the most pristine beautiful beaches in the entire world.  Each year, the beaches of Italy<\/a> attract more and more tourists from all over the globe.  With approximately 7,600 kilometers of coastline, there is opportunity to sunbathe and swim in seclusion or with others from nearly every culture.  The waters are clean, calm and temperate which makes them perfect for swimming.  Whether you want to get off the beaten path to enjoy a romantic getaway or stroll the charming historic narrow streets of Italian villages, the coasts of Italy will not disappoint.  <\/p>\n

Cinque Terre is a popular honeymoon destination, especially for American travelers, because it is a quiet spot literally steps away from the Italian Riviera.  The scenic hiking trails, delicious local seafood cuisine, and quiet fishing villages offer the best of beachside relaxation.  In contrast to the quiet villages and privacy of the Cinque Terra, San Remo on Italy\u2019s western shore offers the excitement of casinos, racetracks and luxurious hotels.  Expensive shops and boutiques line the quaint streets lead down to palm lined beaches.  There are no big chain hotels<\/a> in Cinque Terre, but there are charming affordable hotels available along cobblestone streets.  There are bed and breakfasts or apartments for rent in surrounding villages like Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore and Monterosso. <\/p>\n

Mt. Etna is nearby in Taormina.  <\/p>\n

The Isle of Capri has miles of curving coastline and intriguing grottoes for those who have an adventurous spirit.  The lemon trees of Capri are world famous as are the arcs of the Tyrrhenian Sea.  Lido\u2019s white sands draw thousands of visitors each year.  Deluxe hotels on the beach and waterfront hut rentals are available in Lido.  The water is not suitable for swimming, but the privacy and luxury of Lido makes it a highly desirable romantic getaway. <\/p>\n

Amalfi is rated one of the best beaches in Italy.  Small villages dot the coast and provide quiet getaways from the excitement and fun of the beach.  Celebrities frequent the beaches as their Italian home away from home. If you are looking for fun and excitement as well as beautiful beaches, Amalfi is the destination for you. <\/p>\n
