Beach and relax under the Versilia's sweet sun! Located on the Tyrrhenian Sea and set among thick pinewoods rich with lush Mediterranean vegetation, the Versilia coastal strip is characterized by 20 Km of fine, wide sandy beach gradually descending into the sea. The four Versilia seaside towns - Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore, Marina di Pietrasanta and Forte dei Marmi - are in a position to offer visitors an exciting experience in full relaxation. For nature lovers, a great alternative to the equipped beaches are Versilia’s vast free-beach areas, the widest stretching from Viareggio to Torre del Lago Puccini (approx. 3 kilometres long), containing coastal dunes of great naturalistic interest which are part of the Regional Park Migliarino San Rossore. The Viareggio harbour with its dockyards full of attractive boats and luxurious yachts, its world-renowned shipyards as well as the equipped beaches of the Versilia seaside towns provide boating and sailing enthusiasts a wide range of opportunities to explore the sea with all kinds of vessels and practice all kinds of water sports. The Versilian sea has always been an important means of sustenance and Viareggio, with its ancient seafaring heritage boasts one of the most important fishing fleets in the Tyrrhenian Sea supplying fresh catches to the huge number of seafood restaurants and fish shops of the area. |
