A NOTE about Alberese: the Parco Regionale della Maremma

OK, I know that I said that here you would find all of the beaches that allow dogs in Maremma, but I get asked so often whether it is possible to take dogs into the Parco Regionale della Maremma, in particular its gorgeous wild beach - the Marina di Alberese - that I thought it would be useful to add the information here. And as I have included the beaches in alphabetical order by location and Alberese begins with an A, it features first!

Be aware that, for the protection of both the animals in Maremma's national park and for your dog, dogs are NOT permitted in the Park, either on a lead, in a bag or basket, or in your arms etc.

 

Baratti beach

Spiagga di Baratti: the San Cerbone beach at Canessa. This is the southern area of the beautiful beach at the Bay of Baratti between the tiny church of San Cerbone and Baratti's fishing port.

Although, I have to say that every time I visit the beach (which is often) and walk its entire length, even though there are clear signs along the public beach, dog owners have never drawn a distinction between the part where dogs are allowed and the larger bay area to the north where they aren't.

Baratti pineta

 

What makes Baratti beach a great location for families with dogs is that the beach itself is relatively protected from onshore winds, so great for whole days out. There's easy access from the public car park right behind the beach, so no long hauls with your beach gear. And a great large grassed park area with shady pine trees - le pineta - perfect for picnics and relief from the heat of a summer's day.
