 This public beach is set in the beautiful nature reserve of San Rossore Massaciuccoli
and here, visitors can appreciate breathtakingly picturesque views all year round and sample some of the local culinary delights at the various bars and restaurants situated at 3 of the small public beaches.
The beach was formed in the course of the millennia through the changing of the tides.
The sand dunes, which are still present, form a line of great banks almost parallel to the coastline. The most ancient of them reach a height of 18 meters and are still intact with Palazzetto Nature Reserve in San Rossore.
The flora of this environment, although it is poor in species, create some of the particular associations which determine the form of the beaches.
The marine woodcock, the fish-catching sea-swallow and seagulls are among the most common birds that frequent, especially in the summer months, the shore.
