The beach of Castiglione is the most green of Italy<\/h3>\n

The coast of this town in the province of Grosseto<\/strong>, this year has been declared the most environmentally friendly beach of Italy, receiving the 5 sails of Legambiente Blue guide, titled “The most beautiful sea”, because it has been able to combine tourism and sustainability.<\/p>\n

The municipality has in fact focused on ecofriendly bathing establishments, enhancing bike lanes and separate collection on the beach. In addition to Castiglione was built a network of 160 km of trails to visit protected areas and nature reserves, involving residents and tourists in their protection.<\/p>\n

On the Posada Beach (Sardinia) dunes\u00a0have been reborn<\/h3>\n

Crystal clear water, white sand and lots of nature. If the beach of Posada, in the province of Nuoro<\/strong>, is an attractive natural oasis, the merit is also the administrators who have implemented environmentally sustainable practices.<\/p>\n

They decided to restore 8 km of dunes that 50 years ago had been leveled to make room for bathers. In addition, they protected the pine forest and the wetland bordering the beach, and they decided to use the cash proceeds from the tickets of the parking lots to improve the sustainability of the coast.<\/p>\n
