SEA AND BEACHES OF OUR TERRITORY
The Costa degli Etruschi is a coastline carved by the intensity of nature and the strength of its colours, beautiful beaches and a thousand-year history. The Etruscans loved this section of the Tuscan coast during their day – they left marks of their past in every corner of the seaside here, an invitation to explore this mysterious land. The perfect destination for outdoor sports enthusiasts, the Etruscan Coast furnishes a fantastic range of options thanks to the numerous trails for hiking, horse riding and mountain biking, in addition to crystal clear waters, the myriad beaches and reefs, such as Buca delle Fate, a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean bush and extensive pine groves.
Imagine waking up surrounded by the gentle hills of Maremma, knowing that some of Tuscany’s most enchanting beaches await you just a few kilometers away. San Vincenzo is your gateway to a coastal paradise where every day you can choose a new adventure among crystal-clear waters, seaside villages, and unspoiled nature.
Just minutes away, you’ll find the golden beaches of Rimigliano, a green oasis where the pine forest meets the turquoise sea. Continuing south, the Gulf of Baratti offers breathtaking views with its crescent-shaped bay, where the deep blue frames ancient Etruscan remains. The eastern coast of Piombino (beaches of Sterpaia Park) surprises you with Torre Mozza, a seaside resort dominated by its characteristic coastal tower, perfect for those seeking wide and well-equipped beaches. Here, in the shallow waters, you can even spot the remains of an ancient submerged Roman road, a fascinating testimony to a glorious past just centimeters below the surface.
But the best is yet to come. With Acquavision, you can cruise to the Tuscan Archipelago and discover the Island of Elba, a jewel with a thousand faces featuring white beaches, hidden coves, and colorful villages scented with sea salt. And then there’s Pianosa, a rare and protected gem where time seems to have stood still and the transparent sea reveals dreamlike seabeds.
To the south, Cala Violina awaits you, famous for its sand that “sings” beneath your feet, and Cala Martina, a peaceful corner where Mediterranean scrubland embraces emerald waters. And for those seeking authentic contact with nature, the Maremma Park offers wild and pristine beaches, where dunes, pine forests, and sea coexist in perfect balance.
This is the Tuscany that awaits you: a kaleidoscope of marine emotions, all within reach to make your vacation truly unforgettable.
