Literally, when I met husband I told him that my life's mission was to search the world and find *the* best beach. I have been doing much research to be sure. Space is very, very important. The best beach would be nearly devoid of other people (so that you're not wondering the whole time if there's something wrong with the water, etc that keeps people out)- and totally free of kids (sorry, I'm like that). It would be soft sandy on the shore (white, black, red, pink, gold - all are good) and far enough out so that you can walk in to your waist. It would have lively, colorful reefs full of fish and creatures surrounding it. The water would be super calm, clear and warm. It would be protected on all sides by walls like you show in your photo so that I could let the dog run free while I was freediving without worrying she'd wander off. And the sun would never, never go down. Too much to ask? Oh, dear, I am a beach junkie.

Also hard to get to in some places. We lived in Lerici, with our own little cove, but the best part was getting out in a boat. Since we moved there from San Diego, I can say that the beaches around Livorno are as close as we could find to wide open spaces and fine-ish sand. Gaeta had at least one nice beach too. Can you tell we were military? From one who no longer lives in Italy (sigh): the beaches around La Spezia can be wonderfully isolated and beautiful. Also hard to get to in some places.

Also, space is very important for me. Once I went to Ostia beach just outside of Rome, in June or July, and it was literally elbow to elbow... total chaos. For me, beaches are all about relaxing... and that was about as stressful as could be. I can deal with either rocky (reasonably sized rocks, like pebbles) or sandy, so long as there is shade!!
