Beach bliss
Despite the seaweed, which is common round these parts, a bumper crop of beaches in buttery shades spread out in both directions from Budoni. Spiaggia di Budoni should be your first port of call, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters.
Local life
Part of Budoni’s charm is the fun-loving resort centre. This is the place to come when the sun goes down. Al fresco dining in one of the on the back streets is a must – tuck into big bowls of seafood spaghetti, anchovy-topped pizzas and glasses of local red.
