There's no better way
to discover and enjoy the Italian "dolce vita" than by adding a few
sun-kissed Tuscan beaches to your Tuscany itinerary.
To fully appreciate the relaxing effects of Tuscany’s "sweet life"
and slower pace, give yourself plenty of time to explore some of the least
spoiled spots on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
1. Spiaggia di Capo Bianco
Sheltered from the
southern winds by the rocky cliffs rising dramatically from the blue sea,
Spiaggia di Capo Bianco remains one of Tuscany's hidden gems. Located on Elba
Island, where Napoleon Bonaparte spent his infamous 1814 exile, the beach draws
both local and foreign vacationers with its crystalline waters and tranquil
sunsets. Calms waves make this spot safe for children, who can practice their
strokes in shallow waters lapping a narrow stretch of white pebbles.
2. Spiaggia di Sansone
Another romantic beach on Elba Island, Spiaggia di Sansone sits in a
sheltered cove reachable by a narrow pathway just steep enough to discourage
masses of tourists from thronging this part of the coastline. White pebbles
stand in contrast to the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, with green
cliffs providing a lush background to the usually quiet beach scene. If you
base your Tuscany
trip in nearby Portoferraio, you can head to this beach just before sunset,
when all you need to enjoy a seaside picnic is some grilled fish and a bottle
of fine Tuscan wine.
3. Feniglia
Rarely crowded, Feniglia combines the charms of a picturesque Tuscan
beach with the appeal of a protected nature reserve. Ideal for families with
children, this clean stretch of sand lies in an area known for its varied
wildlife, which includes lizards, turtles, and sea birds. You can spend hours
or days here, swimming, walking, and exploring the lush surrounding area. No
need to burden yourself with too much of your own gear, as you can rent beach
beds and umbrellas right on the sand.
4. Cala Violina
A paradise for impassioned snorkelers, Cala Violina occupies an
idyllic spot in a protected cove famed for its tranquil waters and alabaster
sands. A short path to the beach leads through a shady Tuscan forest, with
several high spots offering sweeping ocean views and providing a tailor-made
setting for watching the sunset. The rugged terrain prevents visitors from
driving right up to the sand, which makes this one of Tuscany's quietest
seaside treasures. The easiest way to get here is by bicycle, which you can
load up with supplies of drinking water and light snacks for a long day of fun
in and out of the water.
5. Spiaggia di Cavoli
Spiaggia di Cavoli stands in stark contrast to most other Tuscan beaches,
many of which remain quiet coastal spots with plenty of kid-friendly things to
do. This beach serves as Tuscany's seaside party zone, drawing its biggest
crowds on the weekends. Each Friday, as the sun goes down and the families with
children head back to their hotels, lively bars open up on the beach and set
about luring weekend revelers with popular dance music and inexpensive drinks.
You can still enjoy a quieter atmosphere on weekday mornings, when the soft
sand remains largely free of pleasure seekers and partygoers.
Enjoy the slow, sweet life
Tuscany boasts so many beaches, each with its own unique character
and appeal, it may seem nearly impossible to pick just a few for your perfect
Italian vacation. A day at any of these beaches promises to fill your trip with
countless memorable moments, from watching golden sunsets to connecting with
Tuscany's friendly natives. The main thing to remember remains the local custom
of taking it slow, enjoying each day's small pleasures and planning your trip perfectly.
We could not have survived our trip without having this to guide us through. It is a fantastic collection of trip itineraries, attractions to see, restaurants to visit and places to sleep! Well worth the money and not as heavy as I thought it would be carrying it. Enjoy your South East Adventure!
