different. The roads look alien. The ease with which one
can spot another car.
Everything that makes driving at night fun can make it
dangerous. The fresh air could be the start of frost on the
roads. The lights could blind you and if you miss a clue
about the road.
It is a shame that very few learners get to drive at night.
I am concerned that so few driving school let their clients
drive at night. There is a bit to learn about driving at
night. How to avoid being blinded by lights. The
importance of shadows in the town.
Nighttime driving includes nighttime, dawn or dusk.
Nighttime driving skills start as soon as the light changes
for any reason.
It is essential that your car is fit to be out at night. Do
all the lights and indicators work? Is the screen clean
inside and out? Make sure that you are fit to be on the
road. Make sure that you are not too tired or have had any
alcohol.
Some night time survival tips - Other drivers can see your
lights, just as you can see theirs. - Make sure that you
can stop in the distance that you can see. - Dark cars tend
to vanish into the gloom. - Silver cars are harder to see
at dawn, or dusk. - You must make sure that your lights are
clean and in working order. - The range and quality of your
vision is reduced at night. - So reduce your speed and
increase your hazard awareness. - Give your eyes time to
adjust to the low light levels. - Use main beam on unlit
roads, but do not dazzle other drivers. - Avoid being
dazzled by looking well ahead and slightly to the right.
Parking at night If you can you should avoid parking on the
road at might. If you have to then there are strict rules
about parking at night. If you are in a well lit road with a
speed limit of less than 30, you may be safe turning your
lights off. Do not park near or opposite a junction at
night. Make sure that you park in the left. If you are
parking on busier roads leave your lights on and park with
the rear of the car facing the traffic. Try to park in a
well-lit area with lots of people passing by. Your car will
be harder to damage or steal.

in touch with nature. This gorgeous beach gives people the
opportunity to walk along unpolluted and untouched beaches,
this is the beach where you can see turtles lay their eggs

city, probably for the same reason tourists do. Its lush
climate is a big plus for vacation goers.
Italian Beach #8: Salina, Italy
On the Aeolian Islands there is an island called Salina,
above the sea with beach access. Volcanoes can be seen from
every end of this city. In Salina, water sports are
abundant; from water skiing to scuba diving, this city has
plenty to offer. Water sports combined with Salina's great
selection of hotels and restaurants make this city an
excellent vacation spot.

into Cagliari is the camping. In this city you will be able
to camp on the beach in a tent, Vendors are everywhere so
there is no need to bring your own camping supplies, just
rent it at one of the many affordable vendors. Camping here
hardly feels like camping, with crystal blue water and
white sandy beaches you may never want to go back home.
Italian Beach #6: Castilglione della Pescaia, Italy
A beach in the Maremma countryside is Castilglione della
Pescaia. This beach is a touch of old world living. A
beautiful countryside surrounded by blue waters and
gorgeous architecture is most famous for its untouched and
unrivaled surroundings. In this coastal city you will be
amazed by what you see, it is almost too much for the eyes
to take. The Medieval castle located on the coast is a
popular tourist destination and should be on everyone's
list of things to see.
Italian Beach #5: Capalbio, Italy
A beach well known for not being well known is Capalbio. It
is an ancient village surrounded by Maremma countryside
that has stayed just how it was for years. It is visited by
many important people throughout the year because it is so
private and has an atmosphere that is rich with the past.
It is also a city famous for its hunting opportunities. It
may be more expensive than other beaches but definitely
worth the visit.
Italian Beach #4: Isola del Giglio, Italy
If you are looking for a great beach with a beautifully
rich underwater life a truly natural selection for your
beach destination is the Isola del Giglio, located on the
Tuscany Coast. With its beautiful sandy beaches and
surprisingly blue coves, it is just the place to relax on
your next vacation. This beach is a popular tourist
attraction but overwhelmingly popular, no floods of
tourists.
Italian Beach #3: Taormina, Italy
Taormina is another beach in Sicily, well not just another
beach but THE beach. The Italian North Beach Taormina is
referred to as the jewel of Sicily and Italy and rightfully
so. With the picturesque beaches and diverse activities
happening all the time it really has something to offer
everyone. From beaches to windsurfing with some wine
tasting on the way, this coastal jewel is a right choice
for any person.
Italian Beach #2: Mondello, Italy
If you're looking for a coastal village where you can go to
the beach during the day and then visit an array of
restaurants, bars, and other unique shops then Mondello, in
southern Italy right next to Palermo (One of Sicily's
largest cities), is an excellent choice. Mondello is very
popular during the summer months because of its famous
sporting events and excellent restaurants.
Italian Beach #1: San Vito Lo Capo, Italy
A good place to start for a blend of culture and fun in the
sun is San Vito lo Capo, a beach that sits in the western
coast of Sicily in Trapani. This island by the Sea is most
famous for its national park called "the Zingaro", host to
beautiful secluded beach. It is also well known for the
houses right on the beach so fishermen can fish for tuna.
This small coastal village is a beautiful place to visit to
enjoy the surf and some turf. This is arguable the Best
Italian Beach.
Picking a beach in Italian Coast can be somewhat difficult,
so many to choose and so little time. With 90% of Italy
being coast there is an endless array of beaches, each
having something different to offer to tourists and local
natives. If you have a desire, one of these beaches could
fill it.
