Many of Tuscany's beach resorts have been awarded with the European Blue Flag, an international recognition that is given not only to wonderful coastlines but also for other environmental indicators that help to make for a perfect holiday, such as the services offered by lifeguards, green spaces, pedestrian zones and cycle paths.

For people who choose Versilia, sun and clear seas as well as fun and fashion can be found in Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio, and culture in Pietrasanta and Camaiore. Pietrasanta is famous for being the land of artists and marble workers, known as Little Athens, whereas Camaiore boasts a wealth of relics from the past.

Along the Apuane Riviera the coastline of Carrara will bewitch you. The world capital of marble is located between the sea and the park of the Apuan Alps, offering breath-taking views over the mountains, where the “white gold" is extracted as well as relaxing moments along its long, sandy beaches, equipped with the finest bathing facilities and nautical centres, where you can enjoy sports such as sailing and windsurfing.
