About Campania

Mountain scenery is one of the most memorable features of sandy beaches of Campania. And this is not surprising because this landscape covers almost the entire coast. Just imagine how you are relaxing under the sun against the background of the mountains - is this not a dream?

General information

Long straight beaches dominate the coast of Campania. Large spaces mean you can always find a comfortable place to relax. That is why travelers appreciate these places so much. One of the disadvantages of this type of beach is the scarce natural shade, so if you choose to relax on the wild part of the coast, be prepared to be alone with the scorching sun without the opportunity to take cover in a cool shade.

One of the interesting features of Campania is that most of its beaches are located away from the city's bustle, and many offer unforgettable views and magnificent seascapes. Maybe this This may not be the main factor determining the choice, but you must agree that getting a tan against an amazing landscape is much more pleasant!
