The sea is undoubtedly the town’s primary attraction, framed by a gorgeous beach whose fine, golden sand extends for miles; there are various bathing establishments and large stretches of beach are equipped with Blue Points, where you can ask for services and assistance.
In addition to the historic Tower of San Vincenzo, the coast is lined with impressive fortifications and lookouts which would have once been used to defend the coast from pirate attacks.

Between San Vincenzo and the Gulf of Baratti, you’ll find beautiful sea lillies and sandy dunes covered with junipers, myrtle and mastic, while woods of holm oaks and corks and the thick pine forest lap the beach . In the park you’ll be able to spot animals such as red squirrels, dormice, wild rabbits, weasels, foxes and birds such as pheasants, bluetits, jays and green woodpeckers.

Don't miss the small hamlet of San Carlo at the foot of Mount Calvi and Mount Coronato, only 5km from the town’s centre and the sea. It was once a mining village but is now a hilly neighborhood from which you can gaze over the coast’s beauty.

The Tuscany on Festival is held each year in mid-August. Musical events, cabaret, bands and DJs bring generations together with musical rhythm in Piazza Unità d’Italia, accompanied by the classic fireworks that light up the entire coast.
