The Mediterrean Tuscany
The Sea is the soal of the Coast of the Etruscans. Il never leaves
you during your journey. 90km of seacoast lined by endless sandy
beaches and cliffs caressed by the salty sea wind and designed by sea
waves. Inlets, coves and bays follow one another endlessly.
The coastline is scattered with renowned villages such as Castiglioncello, San Vincenzo, Quercianella, Marina di Castagneto, Donoratico, Vada, Bibbona, Cecina, Rosignano, Baratti: well-equipped sea locations immersed in ever green pine-woods. At Livorno, seat of the most important Naval Accademy on the Mediterranean Sea, at the end of the 19th century, the first sea bathings were opened to satisfy the increasing request for holidays on the seaside. The Coast of the Etruscans has you spend pleasant and interesting holidays chosing among lots of sports and any sort of entertainments.

There are lots of possibilities for sailing and boating thanks to the numerous well-equipped marinas spread all along the coast and thanks to important commercial and touristic habours such as Livorno and Piombino.
