Rimigliano Nature Park
In San Vincenzo among sand dunes, Mediterranean scrub and crystal clear sea
The Rimigliano Nature Park is a protected area located in San Vincenzo, between Piombino and Campiglia Marittima, and offers some of the most breathtaking views of all Tuscany: sand dunes, Mediterranean scrub, pine and live oak forests and the outline of the Tuscan Archipelago on the horizon.
During the visit, you may come across traces of the Etruscan people, who were the first to inhabit this area.
Hiking lovers can also reach Piombino on foot, by following the road called Via della Principessa (the Princess Trail), the old Via dei Cavalleggeri renamed in honor of Elisa Bonaparte on the occasion of her passage through these lands.
The park consists of 120 hectares of coastline with the Via della Principessa running the middle of it, dividing the area into two distinct environments: one part is covered in windswept beaches and the other is filled with extensive farmlands.
The beach offers public showers and toilets, and guarantees the possibility of bathing completely immersed in nature but without sacrificing comfort and services. Temperatures are mild: during the summer, the sea breeze moderates the heat; while in winter, the presence of the hill group of Mount Calvi, the promontory of Piombino and Elba Island protect the coast from the winds.
Open all year round, the park can only be visited on foot. For athletes, there is an equipped trail within the area.
