Sun, sea, and sand – these are three of the things many of us crave during our holidays. If you fancy being on the beach and enjoying clear waters while basking under the heat of the sun, the following are some of the best destinations.
San Domino, Tremiti Islands, Italy
One of the biggest draws of this beach is that there are no automobiles that are allowed in the island. You have to go around through water taxis or by foot. Since this is an island with a small size, you should not have any problem in exploring it through a leisurely walk. The best time to visit is from May to October, which is also the peak season.

It is also home to some of the wildest parties in Goa. If you come to India on holiday in order to experience its party culture, this is definitely where you should be heading. It is also a good place to look for inspiration since it is surrounded with impressive works of art.
