Beaches of Follonica

Another award that the beaches of Follonica have won for years is the Blue Flag of FEE Italia ( Foundation for environmental education ), resulting in one of the most awarded in our country. Walking along the Follonica seafront it is easy to understand why; not only does this town of the Maremma have a clean and rich in services but there is also a special attention to the environment and a deep respect for it. The shores of the beaches of Follonica are narrow and long, composed of fine golden sand and protected by breakwater cliffs that have the task of mitigating the erosive action of the sea which holds miles of Italian coastline every year. On the beach you will find numerous bathing establishments where you can rent beach chairs, umbrellas, sunbeds and water sports equipment; for the lovers of these last ones: we point out the presence of a Nautical Club where courses are held for beginners and regattas and competitions are regularly organized at national level. There are also large stretches of free beach on the whole coast and on average crowded in the summer months. The follonichesi beaches attract thousands of tourists from all over the world every year, especially the Swiss and Germans who choose the Maremma town as a destination for their summer holidays. The accommodation offer is vast and suitable for every pocket, in the immediate vicinity of the beach there are: hotels, b & b, airbnb, campsites, tourist villages, residences and pensions. The comfort of this quiet seaside resort is that it has developed on the coast and a long cycle path separates the beach from the town. There are also two large pine forests ( Pineta di Ponente and Pineta di Levante ) where you can rest during the hottest hours of the day and are equipped with benches and play areas for children such as miniature golf, castles, inflatables, slides, swings and games for the little ones.
