Where too after Rome in March for beach holiday

I am going to Rome for a weekend mid-march. After that I want to go for a week's holiday somewhere warm and with things to do (history, shops, etc).
Where can you recommend me travelling to for a 7 day break, returning to the UK afterwards.

Cyprus or Malta

I totally recommend the Amalfi coast. If you choose a less touristy town (hint: avoid Sorrento), you will probably be fine, especially since March isn't high season for beach tourism in that part of the world.
I stayed in Positano a few years ago and loved it.
Cinque Terre is a little further afield and isn't a "beach destination" per se, but it might make a great side trip at that time of year (from what I understand of the Italian climate, March isn't exactly swimming weather).

seconding amalfi & thereabouts although they're a little bit touristy for my taste. How about sicily or malta? warmer, although maybe not as shopful.
