10 Exceptional

This beach is a true paradise, with a stunning 10 km stretch of completely natural coastline. Although there is some litter present, this is a minor issue that can easily be resolved. The beach offers breathtaking views from various angles, as it faces the Adriatic sea with exposure from east to west, allowing visitors to witness both the sunrise and sunset. What's more, the beach is situated in a rare and beautiful location that is protected from winds coming from the north quadrant, providing a spectacular experience when the winds are favorable. For more than 70 years, this beach has been a tolerated naturist beach, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy the freedom of being in nature. The beach also provides coves and shelters, located on the edge of the dense Mediterranean scrub, which allows for privacy and confidentiality. However, it would be beneficial if the municipal administration of Ischitella established a stretch of authorized, managed, and controlled naturist beach, which could be achieved by the F.E.N.A.I.T. and ANITA organizations taking a fixed location from April to the end of October. Overall, this beach deserves a rating of 10 stars.

This beach is truly stunning, boasting glistening yellow sand and crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming and lounging in the sun. If you're in need of some shade, you can easily rent an umbrella and chairs from a few select spots. When hunger strikes, head to Park beach for a satisfying lunch. On the downside, Monoi is a bit pricey and doesn't offer the best services. Additionally, it's a shame that the beach isn't kept cleaner, as there are still traces of trash here and there. However, given the lower standards of the area, it's not too bad overall.
