Elena slips off her sandals. The sand is warm, the sea shifts from emerald green to cobalt blue. “What gorgeous colours!” exclaims Elena. The beaches on the Etruscan Coast are a mosaic of landscapes: golden sand dunes, promontories overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, secret coves amongst the rocks. Almost 90 kilometres awarded with the Blue Flag, where the Mediterranean scrub embraces the sea.
(Where Tuscany meets infinity.)

Three iconic beaches to explore.

Which one shall we visit first?” asks Marco, leafing through the guidebook.
Just a few kilometres from our hotel, the coastline surprises you with picture-perfect treasures: bays where the Etruscans founded legendary ports, coves that can only be reached on foot, nature reserves nestled amidst the sand dunes. You can choose where your next adventure will be.

Gulf of Baratti
Around 25km away from Alle Dune

Red sand and turquoise waters at the foot of the Etruscan acropolis. Perfect for anyone who enjoys surfing, windsurfing, or boat trips to discover the town of Piombino.

 

Buca delle Fate cove
Around 30km away from Alle Dune

A wild cove amongst the cliffs of the Piombino promontory, reachable on foot along a forest path. Your reward: the cobalt-blue sea.

 

Rimigliano Coastal Park
Around 20km away from Alle Dune

Six kilometres of sand dunes and Mediterranean scrub. No amenities, just free beach, the wind in your hair, and the sigh of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

 

“Do you know what makes this coast unique? It’s that, in half an hour’s drive, you go from sand that makes the sounds of a violin to red cliffs towering over the sea. Ask us: we’ll tell you the secrets of this coastline.“

Three pearls along the coast:
each with its own soul.

Elena gazes out at the horizon: “Where shall we go today?” 
You don’t need to take a ferry to find paradise. Less than an hour from our hotel, the Tuscan coastline reveals three surprising pearls: a beach that sings beneath your feet, a solitary lighthouse surrounded by Caribbean waters, and red cliffs where red coral grows just a few metres from the shore.

(Bring your mask and snorkel.)

Cala Violina cove
Around 45km away from Alle Dune

Quartz sand that sounds like the strings of a violin. Tucked away in the Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve, it can only be reached on foot.

Vada lighthouse
Around 30km away from Alle Dune

The famous “White Beaches” at the foot of a solitary lighthouse. Shallow, transparent waters with turquoise hues and a landscape that seems almost tropical.

Calafuria
Around 45km away from Alle Dune

Red sandstone cliffs, secret coves, and natural pools carved into the rock. Underwater, the red coral. Above the surface, Boccale Castle.

Spa and wellness:
Tuscan warmth.

Marco closes his eyes and lets the steam envelop him. The hot water makes all tension melt away.
The Etruscans already knew the restorative power of these springs. Today, you can discover them, too:
