Let’s Talk About… A Beach Vacation in Italy Learn Italian and spend a day at the beach along the coast of Italy. A quick search of the approximately 7,600 miles of coastline along the Italian peninsula and its islands yields at least one beach ("spiaggia", and often several, along the perimeter of every coastal town.  Which leads to the question: If you want to "andare al mare" or "go to the sea" like the Italians do for a "vacanza al mare," or "beach vacation," how do you chose the best beach in Italy for you? If you want to spend a day or more at the beach, consider one of the many Italian beach clubs, known as "i stabilimentii" "balneari," or "i bagni." These beach clubs are generally aligned along a boardwalk "(una passerrella" at the seafront ("il lungomare" and  pay a fee to the Italian government to occupy their place on the shoreline. The "bagni" are responsible for keeping their section of the beach neat and clean and provide beachgoers with amenities that are not available on the  free beaches.
