💡 Tips
- Walk down to Spiaggia Lunga early in the morning for the best light and to secure a good spot, as it gets crowded in summer.
- Parking near the coastal access points can be limited; consider walking from the main areas of Piombino.
- The coastal trails here are rocky, so sturdy walking shoes are essential for exploring beyond the main beaches.
- Bring your own water and snacks, as facilities directly on the smaller coves are minimal.
