Expensive beaches, but how much does it cost to go to the sea

A real sting confirmed by an investigation by the Codacons who established which are the most expensive places to swim in Italy, discovering that from Capri to Sardinia, the record of the expensive beach is recorded in Salento.

Increases on all beaches

The summer season has begun and the bathing establishments, like every year, have put cabins, umbrellas and sunbeds back on the beach: they have also hung up the price list, which however is not at all like other years.

Looking at the daily rates for umbrellas, sunbeds and deckchairs, Codacons noted that average increases of +10%/+15% were recorded throughout Italy with peaks of +25% compared to last year, justified by the managers themselves as compensation for the higher costs generated at their expense.

Umbrella and sunbed, average prices

For example, on a beach in Viareggio or Riccione you can spend around 40 euros on average, if you choose Gallipoli can be reached even 80. Sardinia is in the middle, with an average of 60 euros, but only if you go to beaches that are not considered high-level, because if you approach those defined as VIPs, then you can even go up to 120 euros a day.
