Le spiagge più belle del Lazio
Discover the most enchanting beaches in Lazio: from the Riviera di Ulisse to the dunes of Sabaudia, a complete guide to planning your next seaside holiday.
The charm of the Lazio sea
The Lazio coastline offers a surprising variety of seascapes, combining natural beauty with historical richness. From wide stretches of golden sand to coves nestled between rocks, the Lazio coast is the ideal destination for those seeking relaxation, water sports, or simply a rejuvenating day away from the city chaos. Here are the must-visit locations to experience the best of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Sperlonga: the white pearl
Sperlonga is one of the brightest gems on the coast. Its ancient village, characterized by white houses standing out against the blue sky, overlooks beaches repeatedly awarded for water quality. Spiaggia di Levante and Spiaggia di Ponente offer fine sand and gently sloping seabeds, making this location perfect for families as well. Don't miss the chance to visit the archaeological area of the Villa di Tiberio, where Roman history merges with the wild beauty of the coast.
Gaeta: between history and nature
Gaeta is a destination that captivates with its elegance and the variety of its beaches. The famous Serapo beach is the beating heart of the city, with its wide and well-equipped coastline. However, for lovers of wild nature, the Ariana area and the coves accessible via trails offer a more intimate and private experience. The Monte Orlando promontory completes the panorama, offering spectacular views over the entire Gulf of Gaeta.
Sabaudia: the paradise of dunes
Located in the heart of the Parco Nazionale del Circeo, Sabaudia is a paradise for those seeking authentic contact with nature. Its beaches are characterized by majestic natural sand dunes that separate the sea from the Lago di Paola. This pristine environment offers kilometers of free coastline, where the sound of the waves is the only protagonist. It is the perfect destination for those who want rejuvenating walks along the shoreline or long sunny days in a landscape unique in Italy.
Terracina and Anzio
Terracina is a meeting point between past and present. Its long strip of sand is dominated by the Tempio di Giove Anxur, which towers over the promontory offering a breathtaking view of the entire coastline up to the Pontine Islands. The city offers a lively nightlife and excellent beach services. Moving north, Anzio represents another pillar of the Roman coastline. Known for its historic port and the beaches extending towards the Riserva Naturale di Tor Caldara, Anzio boasts clear waters and a maritime tradition reflected in the quality of local cuisine, famous for its fresh fish dishes.
