The city, which is primarily known for its leaning tower, does not have good sea beaches, which cannot be said about the small towns that are nearby. These are Marina di Pisa, where pebble beaches prevail, and Tirrenia, where Pisa's best sandy beaches are abundant. But most of the beaches of Marina di Pisa are free, while there are many bars and restaurants. If you have to pay for anything, it is parking.
So, deserve our attention:
- Tirrenia.
- Marina di Pisa.
- Livorno.
Tirrenia
In Tirrenia, on the coast, there are not so many bars - only paid beaches. There is, of course, one free beach, and therefore there are always a lot of people there. The town is located in the San Rossore National Reserve. Stunning pine trees grow here, greenery is fragrant around. And all this beauty is just 10 km from Pisa.
Everyone will find entertainment here. Tirrenia has a sea that is home to many species of fish. In addition, various water sports are developed here. And nature lovers will love the abundance of pine groves, which have all the conditions for interesting walks on foot and on horseback. You can even go rollerblading or cycling here. The Arno River offers boat trips to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The climate in the town is mild Mediterranean, which is very beneficial for health. You can relax here all year round. The entire territory of the wide-spread forest park is equipped with numerous sports grounds for football, tennis and golf. As for the sandy beaches, you can play beach volleyball on them. There is an amusement park not far from the beach, where it will be interesting to go not only for children, but also for adults.
There are more than 30 beaches in the resort town of Terrinia, mostly private.
For a change, you can sail by boat to the nearest islands from Marina di Pisa. These are some of the other beaches in Pisa where you can have a good rest.
Marina di Pisa
Here the beach can be roughly divided into two parts. In one of them it is quiet, it is good to relax with children, in the second, modern life is in full swing, young people have fun here even at night. This is facilitated by modern discos, bars and restaurants. This settlement near the mouth of the Arno was founded in the middle of the 19th century and already then became a recreation area.
Livorno
These beaches are mostly made of stone. The coast from Antignano to Rosignano is rocky with many cliffs. Therefore, it is advisable to take with you rubber shoes (slippers for walking on coral). You can buy them on the beach itself. Then you need to find a suitable smooth stone on which you can set up a litter and sunbathe. From Rosignano to Ritorto, the beaches are gradually becoming less rocky and it is easier to find places with coarse sand. The beaches are usually short, and the cliffs in the sea form a series of barriers. Most of the currents are calm and calm.
