Latest reviews on Tuscany's beaches

Principina a Mare beach
9 Alberto Beconcini

Conosco e a frequento Principina a mare da diversi anni e devo dire che è un posto fantastico; ideale per le persone (anche con figli piccoli) che cercano un posto tranquillo, naturalistico con una bella spiaggia ed il mare pulito. Molto suggestivo il viale centrale che porta verso il mare immerso in una lussureggiante pineta unica in toscana. Le persone sono molto cordiali e disponibili. Cosa importante è una delle località in toscana con il maggiore soleggiamento da giugno a settembre è davvero raro trovare un giorno di pioggia.

Lido di Capoliveri
2 Leo Spine

The beach was terrible. The sand and gravel were dusty. We had to pay for parking, and when we arrived at 5pm, they charged us 15 euros to rent a parasol and two beds for the rest of the afternoon. Additionally, we had to pay separately for a fresh water shower. You had to buy tokens, and each token only gave you about 30 seconds of water. On top of all that, the owner was extremely rude. I would definitely recommend avoiding this place.

Puntone beach
4 DAVID RAYNER

21st July 2023 We visited this beach as tourists aware that it was a private beach and paid 20 euros to rent a table, two loungers and a parasol for the day. We were placed at table number 15. During out stay we were robbed. Our bank cards, 50 euros, 30 pounds in sterling and our two mobile phones were stolen = someone at the private beach opened our rucksack and stole our property causing us anguish and distress as were tourists stranded in Italy and knew no one. We had saved hard for the trip over many years and it was destroyed that day in one go. Thieves operate everywhere that much we know and thieves stole property belonging to us causing us to have to return to the United Kingdom that day. I have carried out this review to warn others that we were targeted and put through this misery and I have a responsibility to notify the resort owners and those that visit it. What a shame that low lives operate here. A police report was made immediately.

Marina di Grosseto II
6 Emilio Dilorenzo

Spiaggia molto ampia e spaziosa, vivibile anche in alta stagione e nei weekend. Frequentata da famiglie con bambini, coppie, giovani e anziani, si presta a giochi con la sabbia, relax e lunghe passeggiate. Si alternano zone attrezzate ben servite con bar e ristoranti, e zone libere. Beneficia spesso di vento che mitiga il caldo estivo. Presenza di servizio di salvataggio assicurato negli orari di presidio. Unico aspetto che potrebbe renderla meno invitante è la sabbia scura e leggera che rende il mare meno limpido in caso di vento o corrente. Verificare la modalità migliore di raggiungerla poiché è piuttosto distante dalla strada.

Spiaggia del Sonnino

Awesome

Cala Salto del Cervo
10 Lorenzo Santoro

The Uccellina agricultural estate boasts a stunning private cove that is nothing short of breathtaking. This secluded beach is wild and untamed, with no amenities or services to speak of. Accessible only by car with the estate's shuttle service (a 25-minute ride on a 4x4), by foot with a 2-hour journey, or by sea, this cove is a true hidden gem. Although the beach is mostly pebbles, it is advisable to wear rock shoes for added comfort. The water is crystal clear and the seabed is teeming with life, making it a true spectacle to behold. This is an experience that simply must be savored!

Please note that lifeguards supervise 133 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
