The western border of the region coincides with the coast, which faces the Thyrrennian sea (the Ligurian Sea in its northernmost part). Beaches vary from those filled with deckchairs, bars, all kinds of entertainment and people (lots of them), especially around Versilia (northern part) to wild, empty stretches which you’re more likely to find as you head south along the coast, especially around Mount Argentario and the Maremma.
We have selected a few favorite beaches in different parts of the coast so that you have some options depending on where you’ll be coming from.
