Beaches for kids: where to head seaside in Tuscany

Versilia—best known for its golden beaches and a long tradition of fun and entertainment—has numerous beaches suitable for children and families.
Bandiere Verdi were awarded to Camaiore (Lido Arlecchino/Matteotti), Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta (Marina di Pietrasanta, Tonfano and Focette) as well as to Viareggio. Impressively, Viareggio has received this recognition for 17 years! In addition to the quality of the beaches and sea, here children find dedicated spaces, a family environment and many activities: a kid’s club with entertainment, swimming pool, games, as well as thrilling sports such as surfing and sailing.

In Maremma, which is famous for its crystal-clear waters, sandy seabed and well-equipped bathing establishments, the little ones can have fun on the sand at Castiglione della Pescaia, Follonica, Marina di Grosseto and Principina a mare.
Also Argentario, although many coves can be reached only by sea or along bumpy paths, includes several green flag beaches: in Monte Argentario Cala Piccola, in Porto Ercole Le Viste, in Porto Santo Stefano Cantoniera, Moletto and Caletta, in Santa Liberata Bagni Domiziano, Soda and Pozzarello.

Finally, heading down the Etruscan Coast, the ideal places to spend a child-friendly vacation are San Vincenzo and Marina di Bibbona.
