User reviews
"The bay at Castiglioncello in Livorno, Italy is a stunning sight to behold, especially when the sun sets and the night takes over. This public beach is a true gem, and it's no wonder why visitors keep coming back for more. Personally, I have a special connection with this place, as it feels like a second home to me, even though I come from the Philippines."
Luna BellezaRivas
"The beach near the town of Pisa is the best one around. It costs 4 euros and takes about 30 minutes to get there by train. It's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy some quiet time, especially with the unique brown sand."
