The latter charge an entry fee, in exchange for a sun lounger, and full use of the toilet and changing facilities. Try the Lido di Camaiore, situated between Viareggio and Marina di Pietrasanta. Here, you can look up at the marbled landscape of the Apuan Alps as you relax on the seashore.

If you want to take a break from the sun, Viareggio’s very own pine forest is minutes from the beach. In the Pineta di Pontente you can take a stroll through Mediterranean pine trees, play tennis and mini golf or visit the Villa Borbone, a three storey palace which is now used for exhibitions and conferences.
