Here are three more to start you dreaming of a vacation in Maremma!

Golfo di Baratti

A small Gulf with an Etruscan civilisation

The perfect combination of a gorgeous Italian beach for catching those rays and playing, plus a very special piece of Italian history in one place: the Golfo di Baratti.

When you drive along the road to Baratti and see your first glimpse of the Gulf, it will take your breath away. Sit upon its deep golden sands looking out upon intense blue waters with their breaking white surf as they reach shore, with the warmth of the sun on your face... and you will think that you have found paradise.

Then you will know why the Etruscans decided to build their only city by the sea on the hillside here at Populonia, overlooking the tiny port below, the beautiful Gulf, and both the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas.

Walk along the beach towards the tiny hamlet of Baratti and in the sands you will come across an active archeological dig of an Etruscan civilisation.

Cross the road from the beach and you will find "Il Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia" - the Archeological Park of Baratti and Populonia, with an important Etruscan necropoli, an acropoli with the remains of temples and thermal spas, Etruscan tombs, and the medieval monastery of San Quirico... and more.

Torre Mozza

A beach with a medieval tower

Torre Mozza is a beautiful long wide stretch of fine sand with its own medieval tower.

It is situated along the beautiful Etruscan coast in Maremma Livornese, and marks the southern-most point of the nature park of "Parco Costiero Della Sterpaia", which contains other wonderful beaches all within a few minutes drive from each other.

This picture was taken on New Years day. Some of the people on the beach had travelled here on New Year's Eve, parked their camper vans in the area behind the "pineta" (pine trees), and had watched the sunset on one year over the beautiful Island of Elba in the Gulf of Follonica, and the sunrise on another from the sands. What a lovely way to celebrate the New Year.

Capanna Civinini

Perfect for galloping a Maremmano horse

Capanna Civinini is a spectacular wide and long (kilometres long!) stretch of golden sand beach. Ideal for families, walkers, joggers, and day dreamers...

It sweeps south from the mouth of the river Alma below a white medieval tower - the Torre Civette, all the way to the southern-end of the Golfo di Follonica, ending close to the promontory of the sailing port of Punta Ala. Here you can just walk and walk and walk...

It is mainly a "public" beach and out of the high summer season or in the mornings/late afternoon/early evenings, it makes a perfect location for riding one of Maremma's Tuscan horses - the Maremmano.
