You'll find some beach resorts in Italy cost money, depending on where you are. However, this isn't always the case—often, there are secluded beaches right along the coast, open for your perusal, as well as public beaches, like Sperlonga in Lazio. Some places might split the beach in two. They have a side with available concessions that cost money and a totally free side. These concessions include beach chair rentals, umbrellas, and sometimes a bar or two for your convenience.
