Etruscan Coast: beaches, sea, and luxury villas
The sea and the beaches, the piece de resistance of the Etruscan Coast
The Etruscan Coast is a wonderful 90-km stretch of coast on the Tuscan seaside, with old origins.
It is a territory rich in attractions, entertainment, beaches with a crystal-clear sea, and steeped in culture. There are many itineraries that will let you experience the splendor of the Etruscan civilization, after which this stretch of Tuscan coast has been named. Here, the traces of this ancient past are endless, especially between the Gulf of Baratti and Populonia, the latter being originally the only Etruscan city built on the coastline.
The Etruscan Coast encompasses the entire mainland territory of the province of Livorno, stretching south to north across the municipal territories of Piombino, San Vincenzo, Castagneto Carducci, Bibbona, Cecina, Rosignano Marittimo e Livorno, nonché i comuni dell'entroterra, ovvero Collesalvetti, Sassetta, Suvereto e Campiglia Marittima.
However, for those seeking a luxury property for sale on the Etruscan Coast, the main aspects to be considered are the beaches and the sea. The coastline south of Livorno is rocky up to Castiglioncello, ending quite suddenly and becoming sandy up to Baratti. Piombino’s promontory stands out further south, with Populonia on its summit, separating the Gulf of Baratti from Piombino itself. The promontory also lays on the border between the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas.
Here are some of the most beautiful beaches on this stretch of Tuscan coast, with mild weather year-round, thick pine groves, parks, and protected oases, all of which makes the Etruscan Coast a dream location enjoyable year-round.
Spiagge Bianche, Rosignano Solvay
Admired from out at sea, the Spiagge Bianche di Rosignano Solvay are a true, white-sand wonder, like a corner of the Caribbean in the middle of Tusany.
Baia del Quercetano
The bay Baia del Quercetano in Castiglioncello is a sandy strip enclosed in rocky gulf, and is the only sandy beach in the area.
Spiaggia di Cecina
The beach in Cecina has golden sand and is protected by a thick pine grove covering over 5 km up to Marina di Bibbiona.
Marina di Castagneto
Marina di Castagneto is one of the less crowded beaches on the Etruscan Coast. The clean sea and the scent from the pine grove make for a pleasant outdoor environment.
Spiagge di San Vincenzo
Not only San Vincenzo has a clean sea and beautiful sand but is also is the area with the most hotels and hospitality facilities directly overlooking the sea.
Spiaggia di Baratti
Baratti has Etruscan ruins very near the sea, while the proper Archaeological Park is behind the town. There are both public and equipped beaches, with a beautiful sea and fine sand, set in a bay with clean water and extensive Mediterranean maquis.
Spiagge di Piombino
Piombino is a rocky promontory, at the end of which there are sandy beaches which, in spite of the metallurgic vocation of the town, are very beautiful and wild.
History, nature, sea, and beautiful beaches are a perfect combination to entice you to choose one of the wonderful, prestigious villas listed by Broker Immobiliare Exclusive Real Estate and to experience first-hand this magical Tuscan seaside location.
