-San Vincenzo is a small-medium resort and here, close to the center, you will find
several beach resorts.
Just outside the city there is also a "bau beach" or a stretch where dogs are allowed
to access and bathe.
In San Vincenzo the sea is clean and the sand is beautiful.
It is not recommended for lovers of the lonely and wild sea, but it is
for lovers of food and wine thanks to the quality of restaurants and
local products.
- Rimigliano
The long beach runs along the Via della Principessa and is accessed by numerous
passages that, crossed a stretch of pine forest and Mediterranean scrub, lead to the
characteristic dunes of light sand that form in this stretch.
The beach of Rimigliano is popular and very popular in high season, but being
quite large you can easily find a place to lay your towels and plant the umbrella
. In
the Park there are picnic areas and a small refreshment point, but no equipped
establishments.
- Baratti
One of the most iconic beaches of this territory: the Gulf of Baratti extends from
the Promontory of Piombino and is a real wonder. Its beach has a particular dark
brown colour, with black fragments probably deriving from the ancient iron works.
Its waters are crystal clear, especially on days when the sirocco blows. To
characterize the Gulf is the so-called "pratone" and the picturesque pine forest that
runs along the beach.
Much of the beach is free.
There are three bathing establishments: Bagno Baratti, Bagno Altamarea and
Thomas Beach Baratti.
In addition, there are two bars directly on the beach that also offer quick meals, as
well as some restaurants outside the pine forest. Very characteristic is the Kiosk Al
Polpo Marino, located at the beginning of the meadow.
There are six sports and nautical activities: "Rada Etrusca", "On the streets of the
Etruscans", "Circolo Nautico Pesca Sportiva Baratti", "Ormeggio Baratti", "Diving
Baratti", "Centro Velico".
Natural paths: "Path Votive Tabernacles", "Path Villini - Poggio Mulino", "Path Le
Cave".
Parking: There are many parking spaces and almost all pay. Access is forbidden to
vehicles over 2 meters wide, so there is a stop at the parking lot of Caldanelle.
For non-residents: possibility to buy a Parking Pass, valid for one week and only
one vehicle, at a cost of € 45.00 for cars and € 90.00 for motorhomes.
- Buca delle Fate
If you are fond of rocks and rocks you will find a few points, but some really
beautiful, such as the "Buca delle Fate" in the promontory of Baratti. Access to the
Buca delle Fate is not easy , but it is a particularly impressive place.
- Natural Park of Sterpaia Beyond the town of Piombino, towards the south, you will find the Sterpaia Natural
Park. Here there are several beaches of light and thin sand, some of which are also
equipped. This stretch is also very suitable for families with small children because
the coast slopes very gradually towards the sea and there is a large stretch of
shallow water perfect for children to play in peace.
- Torre Mozza
One of the most beautiful beaches is undoubtedly the beach of Torre Mozza, which
has a characteristic watchtower on the sea, very impressive to see. The beaches of
Mortelliccio, Carbonifera, Perelli and Carlappiano are also popular in high season.
They are also popular. The car parks are gathered more or less in the same place,
without particular distinction so my advice is to park the car and walk stopping
where you like it most or find less confusion.
- Cala Violina
Outside the Etruscan Coast, Cala Violina is located in the Scarlino Gulf, past
Follonica, in the road that leads to Punta Ala.
