THERE'S a little-known beach in Europe that has crystal-clear waters and has been described as "one of the most beautiful".
The beaches in Italy can get very crowded, but there are still some secluded spots where holidaymakers can relax in peace.
Tucked away on the Amalfi Coast is the small fishing village of Nerano.
While Nerano may not be as famous as other neighbouring towns like Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi, it's become a hit with holidaymakers in recent years thanks to the local beach.
Nerano Bay, which is also known as Marina del Cantone, is a pebbled beach on the Sorrento Coast.
In recent years, it's been described as one of the "most beautiful beaches" by a string of holidaymakers on TikTok.

A caption over the video read: "One of the most beautiful hidden beaches I’ve ever seen. A hidden gem off the coast of Positano in Italy. You can only get there by boat."
The footage shows a series of small boats bobbing on top of the crystal-clear waters.
There were also a series of sunbeds and sunloungers dotted along the shore with views overlooking the sea.

In the comments of the video, other TikTok users described the beach as "pretty" and "beautiful".
While other users expressed their interest to go to the secluded spot on their next Italian adventure.
One person wrote: "An unreal place".
Megan isn't the only holidaymaker who has been raving about the beach, TikTok user hazelmoloney described Nerano as a "must-visit" in another video on the platform.
And Italian Travel experts, Italy Heaven, who specialise in travel around Italy described the town as an "off-the-beaten-track base."
They added: "Marina del Cantone is a refuge for Italian locals and travellers-in-the-know who'll drive over the hills from Sorrento, or take a boat along the coast, to enjoy a swim and a good lunch."
Away from the crowds, at Marina del Cantone holidaymakers can also rent parasols and sunbeds.
Just above the bay, a selection of restaurants and cafes line the street.
Any holidaymakers who want to sample a local delicacy should aim to try spaghetti alla Nerano – a pasta dish packed with courgettes and cheese.
Other activities include boat tours, snorkelling, and a gentle stroll through the hilltop town.
Tourists can also visit Villa Rosa where British writer Norman Douglas is said to have stayed.
Nerano can be reached by car or bus from neighbouring Sorrento.
Holidaymakers who have hired a car will be able to park their car in Sorrento for around €10 (£8.69) per day.
While the local bus service costs €2 (£1.74) for a one-way ticket.
Brit tourists can also take a bus from Positano to reach Nerano.
Alternatively, visitors can also hire a boat to arrive at the tiny Italian village via its small marina.
But this isn't the only secluded spot that users have been raving about online.
