San Vincenzo combines natural beauty with warm hospitality, a combination that makes this an excellent tourist destination. It is precisely because of this that the area has held Blue Flag certification for many years now.
Among the beaches along the San Vincenzo coastline is La Conchiglia, with fine sand and shallow waters, being an ideal spot for families, offering both a beach resort and public areas, accessible via a walkway. Among the usual attractions, you can also spend time at the beach in downtown San Vincenzo and La Principessa.
The public beach at Rimigliano, rather, is located near the park of the same name, surrounded by dunes and vegetation, as well as being a nesting site for loggerhead sea turtles. Accessible to all, it offers amenities such as showers and picnic tables.
For our 4-legged friends, there’s Bau Beach with light-colored sand and plenty of dog-friendly spaces.
Along the coast, you can admire the ancient San Vincenzo Tower as well as picturesque fortifications and lookout towers, once used to defend the coast against pirate attacks.
The San Vincenzo marina, once a historic trading port, now offers high-quality services for recreational boaters.
The Rimigliano Nature Park is a reserve located right on the coast. Founded in 1973, it covers an area of some 120 hectares or 297 acres, stretching between San Vincenzo and the Baratti Gulf. A dense pine forest borders the beach. The sand dunes are covered with juniper, myrtle and mastic trees. The woods are replete with holm oaks. And the park is home to an extensive variety of animal species, such as red squirrels, hazel dormouse, wild rabbits, weasels, foxes and—among the birds—pheasants, titmice, jays and green woodpeckers.
San Vincenzo even offers the opportunity to enjoy all kinds of water sports. Indeed, there is no shortage of facilities for swimming, fishing, scuba diving, sailing, water skiing and windsurfing. There are then sports fields and running tracks, 2 sports arenas for basketball and volleyball, a velodrome and an airfield.
