Cala Violina beach

Cala Violina is one of the best beaches in Tuscany - wild, free, without sunbeds and other "amenities" ashore. However, the park has cafes, toilets and picnic spots (no fire). The sand is coarse, so the shallow water is always clear. Despite the remote location, there are usually a lot of people - even during the low season. However, in any case, you can always find a free stretch of the coast, - just walk a little to the left or to the right. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
