💡 Tips

  • Rent a bicycle to explore the vast pine forest (Pineta) that stretches directly behind the beach line.
  • Visit the large weekly market on Tuesday mornings; it's one of the most popular and spirited in the region.
  • Use the free parking lots slightly inland, as finding a spot near the seafront is nearly impossible during summer.
  • Take a short trip to the nearby wine village of Bolgheri, famous for its long avenue of ancient cypress trees.
  • Head to the southern part of the pine forest for natural beaches that are much less crowded than the central resort area.
