Here are some of the best Beaches in Tuscany Italy

 

Tuscan Versilia Beaches

North of Tuscany is worldwide famous for its beaches. Versilia coast line between Viareggio and Marina di Carrara generously welcomes hundreds (or even thousands) of tourists a year on its sandy Italy beaches of Versilia, Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore and Forte dei Marmi.

All Versilia beaches are well maintained, crowded and mainly consist of the lines of sun beds and umbrellas.

So if you prefer more touristic, busy and elite beach holidays then with no doubt your destination is La Versilia - Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore or Forte dei Marmi.

Night life in Versilia is normally also very busy. Viareggio discos gather elite visitors from the whole Italy.

Tuscany on the Beach. Did you know that...?

Most of the Italian women go al mare (to the beach) from early April until late September, every weekend if they can. It is something from the local culture, and getting dark bronze tan by the end of the season in Tuscany is almost a must.

In Italy, often you can see even older ladies in their 60-70 getting themselves to the beach in the morning and going home by lunch. Or little babies of just one or two months old being brought to the beach to experience for the first time in their lives the importance of mare in the Tuscan culture.

And then, all those numerous stories people are telling each other next day after going to the beach... Curious what are other interesting facts about Italy?

 

Tuscany Maremma Beaches

A nice alternative is the southern coast of Tuscany with its wild Maremma which is protected by the state nature reserve. Maremma beaches of southern Tuscan coast are, perhaps, the less crowded and the most beautiful and clean beaches of Tuscan coast.

White Maremma beaches of Italy are less touristic and less “elite” (you can not compare the quietness of Maremma with busy and fashionable Versilia). All depends on your taste and on your view of what the best beaches are.

Hereby my selection of the best beaches in Maremma:

Livorno Beaches

I hear sometimes that the best beaches in Tuscany are those of Livorno province (going south from Livorno down the coast) - Quercianella, Chioma, Castiglioncello, Rosignano...

Having visited many of Livorno beaches over the years I have a double opinion about that.
