Crystal clear blue seas, beautiful beaches offering the ultimate in comfort and services and that are also eco-friendly. There are many beaches in Tuscany that have these characteristics and that have been awarded, again this year, the prestigious Blue Flag, an international award given to the best, cleanest and most eco-friendly beaches in the world.
Think of fine sandy beaches, pebble beaches along the coasts, high cliffs, hidden bays and coves, and seaside resorts that are fully equipped: beaches in Tuscany are a veritable dream that will surely make your summer vacation all the more special.
At the nothern tip of the Tuscan coast is the Apuan Coast, which starts in Carrara, where the sea is sure to enchant. The world capital of marble is located between the sea and the National Park of the Apuan Alps, offering breathtaking views of the mountains where Tuuscany has extracted its Carrara marble, or 'white gold', for centuries. Summer holidayers can relax in any of the area's long sandy beaches, equipped with top-quality bathing resorts and sports centers, where they can go sailing or windsurfing.
For those who choose the Versilia, sun and clean waters await! The Versilia offer more than just beautiful beaches, however. Expect fun and nightlife, especially in the seaside Tuscan towns of Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio; and lots of art and culture in Pietrasanta and Camaiore, towns renowned for the artists and marble workers, who have live and work there for centuries.
Further south, the Pisan Coast is perfect for those who love to relax and take advantage of private beaches, away from the hustle and bustle of the region's other coastal areas. Sandy beaches, clear seas and vast Mediterranean pine forests are located in Marina di Pisa, Tirrenia and Calambrone.
Along the Etruscan Coast are many naturalistic coastal locations: Antignano, Quercianella, Castiglioncello and Vada in Rosignano Marittimo. These are four beaches, one different from the next, but all that boast scenic views of the sea. Among the Blue Flag beaches on the Etruscan Coast are: Cecina, Marina di Bibbona, Castagneto Carducci, San Vincenzo and the Natural Park of Sterpaia (Piombino), known for its sandy dunes surrounded by lush pine forests and natural reserves.
The next stop south is the Maremma, which offers exceptional locations for an unforgettable summer. The seaside towns of Follonica and Marina and Principina di Grosseto are not far from the Maremma Regional Park, the green heart of Grosseto province. These beach towns are considered among the best in southern Tuscany for families with children. Another place not to be missed is Castiglione della Pescaia, with its charming and posh historic village overlooking the coast.
Further down, south of the Maremma, you'll find the charming area of Monte Argentario, which is similar to an island except for the fact that it is connected to Tuscany by three narrow strips of land. There, you will find beautiful cliffs along the coast, hidden bays, and well-equipped beaches.
