While Italy is not as well known for their beaches as Spain, France or Greece, they still house some of the Mediterranean’s nicest spots to get a tan. With your Eurail pass you can enjoy the whole coast of Italy, but there are two regions you need to plan you stops around if you want to enjoy the seaside.
The first train stop after leaving France known for its beach resorts is San Remo located on the Italian Riviera. San Remo offers the same enjoyment as its more famous neighbor, the French Riviera, but at a more affordable price. San Remo is a full-out resort town if that’s what you’re looking for, with a casino, race track and golf, along with its restaurants, shopping and beautiful beaches. Sestri Levante, Levanto and Lerici are some top beaches in the area worth spending some time at.
The Second big stop on this train tour for some beach time is the Amalfi coast, located on the coast just south of Naples. On the Amalfi coast there are countless choices to enjoy the beach and sea, but the coastline between Amalfi and Sorrento is your best bet. Positano has an absolutely stunning beach but is in an expensive area. The Blue Grotto is famous attraction to check out, but you’ll face long lines of tourists in summer seasons. There are also the gorgeous islands of Ischia, known for its thermal spas, and the famous Capri, both worth the boat trip over.
