The beach is truly amazing, however, the strict regulations and high costs imposed by the surrounding hotels can be quite daunting. Nonetheless, the pristine waters and soft sand make for an unforgettable experience.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking vistas of the 'Faraglioni' at this beach, but don't settle for just that. Venture forth to Vignanotica beach, a true gem among the many beaches I've visited. The mere distance of a few miles separates you from this paradise on earth. Don't miss out on the opportunity to indulge in its beauty and splendor.

Undoubtedly, this beach in Italy is among the top-notch ones. Although a single umbrella and two beds come at a cost of 40 euros, the experience is priceless.

10 Exceptional

This seaside location is now open to the public, with hotels closed for the time being. The parking fee is a reasonable 10 EUR, while an umbrella will set you back 20 EUR (or 30 if you don't pay for parking). If you prefer not to rent an umbrella, there's plenty of shade to be had from the rocks. A small bar is also on hand, serving refreshing drinks and tasty sandwiches.

The beach is absolutely stunning! 😍👌 However, the only downside is that access is restricted to guests of the nearby hotels or those who have obtained a permit from the Mattinata Tourist Information Center. Unfortunately, obtaining a permit online is not an option.
