The Gulf of Follonica is one of the most famous beaches in Tuscany (perhaps the most famous). Follonica Beach is suitable for families with children, as the sea waters remain shallow for several meters, making swimming particularly easy. The shoreline of Follonica is sandy. Here, you will find all the amenities of equipped beaches: sun loungers, deck chairs, umbrellas, sports fields, water activities (pedal boats, canoes), and much more. There are also extensive stretches of free beach.
Another fabulous beach, with a horseshoe shape, is called the Gulf of Baratti. Baratti Beach has a sandy shore with a brownish tint: in this area, the ancient Etruscans worked with iron. Baratti Beach is preceded by a dense pine forest and a large meadow called the “pratone,” which is particularly suitable for outdoor picnics, reading, or a little afternoon nap.
If you’re looking for an even more wild beach, I recommend exploring the Sterpaia Park. Before reaching Sterpaia Beach, you can admire not so much a dense pine forest but rather a real wooded area. Sterpaia Park belongs to a protected area, a self-sustaining micro-ecosystem, where you can observe numerous species of shrubs, plants, bushes, birds, and animals. It’s a spectacle! Sterpaia Beach is about ten kilometers long and is characterized by a series of ancient towers built close to the sea.
If you want to visit all these fabulous beaches, choose Salvapiano Residence as your starting point for your stay! All of these beaches are at most fifteen kilometers away from Salvapiano.
