The body of water that lies to the west of the Italian peninsula is the Tyrreanian Sea. It is part of the larger Mediterranean Sea and is situated between the western coast of Italy and the islands of Sardinia and Corsica. The Tyrrhenian Sea is known for its clear waters, beautiful coastlines, and rich marine biodiversity. Popular tourist destinations along its shores include Rome and the Amalfi Coast, which attract visitors for their historic sites, cuisine, and picturesque views. The sea plays a vital role in the regional economy, through both tourism and fishing.
