Clear, blue sea washes a long, wide sandy beach bordered
by Mediterranean scrub. Sand dunes run up to a splendid centuries-old
pinewood with plenty of space for walks and bicycle rides,
as well as picnics and games.
Stretches of public beach alternate with well-established pay beaches all along the coast.
Facilities for water sports and fishing,
as well as swimming and sailing lessons, riding stables and clay pigeon shooting
are available.
Marina di Cecina is a peaceful, and at the same time, lively
resort offering all the facilities its international visitors
need for relaxing, enjoyable holiday.
Long lines of Tomboli – dunes covered with thick vegetation
running inland from the beach – are part of an ecosystem
which protects cultivated areas from the sea winds.
The Tomboli Biogenetic Nature Reserve at Cecina extends
over 15 kilometres and is one of Italy's most beautiful
forests.
The dense and varied vegetation changes the further it extends
inland. Lilies and sea poppies flower on the beach while
junipers cover the outer dunes and holm-oaks, cluster pines
and umbrella pines predominate in the scrub.
