2km into a nice forest walking from the parking and a little 2 minute downhill to reach a very quiet and nice beach (no sand btw)

Pure nature beach..no sand, very big stones. If you like nature and just with 10 people - that’s the place. If you want to go into the water and swim without having troubles with big stones, don’t come here. 4* because of nature, 5* would have been a „wow“.

The trail there is nice but the beach itself isn't worth the effort. Entrance is covered with slippery stones so with even small waves it takes a lot of effort to go to the sea. Water is pretty dirty with seaweed

It is nice. There was only one person there who was not with us and he was soon gone. The shore has stones and it easy windy and the water had waves. Therefore it was not clean. We still had a good swimming. Actually, we were looking for caia violina, which is near there. We found it the next day. That is worth a visit...

Quiet, great views towards Elba and beyond

Incredible beach, not easy to reach but it’s worth it!

Beautiful beach with crystal clear water. Highly recommended

Free Beach, not overcrowded cristal clear water you can see up to 2 meters inside water . Suited for families with kids you can walk easily up to 100-150 meters and water is just 1.5m tall. Best experience I ever had. 100 times better then cala violina . There is 1.5 km walking from car park but same is at cala violina where is not free and is overpriced, overcrowded and the water is not so clean/ clear.

Beautiful beach, the walk and the wade through the river is worth it. No toilet nor service whatsoever, bring your own stuff. It’s a 4 out of 5, just because you can find seaweed sometimes. Other than that, it’s a nice spot in the very crowded Tuscany of August.

Totally free beach, no service though, be advised, bring food and drink for your stay. In my opinion probably a better choice than the over hyped and over crowded Cala Violina (that also requieres booking up front, which can only be done 3 days ahead and places are going fast). We went here early August, peak season, but still was not crowded. Sandy beach, shallow water, relatively clear, stunning view. Probably the best option is to park at Parcheggio a pagamento cala civette (the other parking area shown on Google Maps does not exists anymore). Price was 0.50 eur / hour in 2023, have to pay at parking meter up front, which accepts credit card. From here follow main road towards Punta Ale for approx 500m then take a right turn and follow signs for Cala Violina (sic!), Cala Civette is not really advertised, but path passes by the northern end of Civette (where you can see the one and only sign for Civette), hard to miss it. Actually Google Maps shows this route properly, can rely on it. From reviews I've read there is an alternative approach from the south, somewhere from the big camping at Punta Ale, which crosses the river as well, I would not recommend that as it's hard to enter the beach from south due to cliffs and rocks. This path from the north took us a good 40 mins with 3 small kids, so probably doable in half an hour for adults. The path was not difficult, I personally went in slippers, but probably shoes are a better option.

WoW

Nice beach, follow the track between the campingsite and the river. Cross the river when you reach the ocean. Walk in the shallow water to the beach.

Very beautiful beach with few people (because there is no road access). The beach is natural and the water clear. The pine forrest behind the beach is sadly private property and should not be accessed. There are a few trees that give shadow which you are allowed to go to.

Very fine sand, very clear and shallow water but too many people!

Thank you Federico & Marty for the awesome experience at SurfRelax. Friendly people and great instructing for windsurf! I was on the water riding with the wind sooner than expected thanks to Fede! The school is run by cool people with great vibes.

What bliss to lie under the shade of a bright beach umbrella, caressed by a warm sea breeze, while watching the colourful kitesurfs dancing above the horizon. On the Tuscan Coast, the Puntone Beach Surf Relax was the perfect place to be today with my husband and my furry dog Wendy! We had a long walk on the sandy beach in the morning, then played beach tennis paddle in the warm shallow waters, and then my husband went out further into the sea for a refreshing swim - while I went back to my loungechair and my Audiobook!

Be aware we were robbed on this beach whilst relaxing. Do not be lulled into a force sense of security. Someone stole our belongings and the police were not interested. We will be writing to the British Embassy and to the BBC broadcasters. Do not let your money bank cards or property out of your sight. We are talking about this beach. Beware.

We sat on the sunbed hoping someone will come over and take a charge from us. Instead lady from the bar came and told us everything is booked and we need to leave and we should have asked before. When I asked if she has anything available, she said no. The same thing happened to my friends sitting next to us, but all of sudden she told them that there's available place. She wasn't very nice... Edit: our family took just one umbrella and two sunbeds in the first row...

Perfect wind & sea spot. Passionate teachers. Our kids have made big-jump progress this year, and we are definitely coming back next year. It has been 3 years we have been trying and searching for a spot and school to get our 3x boys (now 8y, 10y, 12y) started with windsurfing on the sea. We believe we have found the perfect place at Puntone Beach. The place is offering day-to-day consistent wind and sea conditions. Most importantly, Puntone Beach has passionate and professional teachers. Just in 5 days our boys were able to windsurf out there in the open sea under close, professional, and comforting (for us as parents sitting on the beach) supervision of Puntone Beach teachers. Great job Puntone Beach and see you next summer!

Very nice place, a perfect surfinsructor(Emanuele of course and also Ida), really recommendable if you are not looking for top material but a small, private and professional surf school.

One of the most nice Kiteschools I have ever seen! So much fun and awesome teacher too! Drinks, Vibe, People are just awesome❤️ Shallow water, small nice waves...f....... perfect to lern kitesurfing🤙🥳❤️

It's a small museum. Do not expect to much. But for 3 Euro it's great for kids and all those who do not like museums much. Unfortunately the video is out of order and this since June 2021 at least. Disappointing.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting little museum that can also be visited by taking the cycle path from Follonica. You are accompanied by a very kind and knowledgeable guide. The visit can also be combined with a walk in the nearby naturalistic oasis. (Original) Piccolo museo molto interessante visitabile anche percorrendo la pista ciclabile da Follonica. Si viene accompagnati da una guida molto cortese e preparata. La visita può essere anche associata a una passeggiata nelle prospicente oasi naturalistica.

(Translated by Google) MAPS is proof that wherever you go, you can enjoy more or less great but still satisfying cultural experiences. In half an hour, in a small but well-organized environment, you can perceive the experience of underwater archaeologists and the fruit of their work in recovering the objects that can be admired on display. Certainly worth a visit when staying in the area. (Original) Il MAPS è la dimostrazione che ovunque si vada, si può usufruire di esperienze culturali più o meno grandi ma comunque sodddisfacenti. In mezz'ora di tempo, in un ambiente piccolo ma ben organizzato, si percepisce l'esperienza degli archeologi subacquei ed il frutto del loro lavoro di recupero proprio degli oggetti che si possono ammirare esposti. Merita certamente una visita quando si soggiorna nei dintorni.

(Translated by Google) We were truly amazed to see how a museum was created in such a small space. The finds were found during the excavations of the tourist port of Marina di Scarlino, especially Romanesque amphorae. I RECOMMEND A VISIT, YOU WILL NOT REGRET. (Original) Siamo rimasti veramente sbalorditi nel vedere, come è stato realizzato un museo in così poco spazio. I reperti sono stati ritrovati, durante gli scavi del porto turistico di Marina di Scarlino, soprattutto anfore del perito romanico. CONSIGLIO UNA VISITA, NON VI PENTIRETE.

(Translated by Google) A small pearl set in the old hydraulic toll booth; the illustrations are clear, the finds well displayed, even if not of extreme value. The museum gives an idea of ​​the historical evolution of the ancient landing place. It is possible to see a film about the underwater excavation campaign and the discovery of the finds. (Original) Una piccola perla ambientata nel vecchio casello idraulico; le illustrazioni sono chiare, i reperti ben esposti, anche se non di estremo valore. Il museo dà un'idea dell'evoluzione storica dell'antico approdo. Possibile vedere un filmato sulla campagna di scavi subacquei e il rinvenimento dei reperti.

(Translated by Google) It's not a huge museum but it's worth the visit given the value of the exhibition. In conjunction with a large car park, cycle path and bus stop, it also offers a picnic area with tables and do-it-yourself bicycle repair stations. The external signage of the geopark is beautiful and would need to be permanently fenced and monitored. I suggest installing a water fountain outside the museum. (Original) Non è un grandissimo museo ma merita la sosta visto il valore dell'esposizione. In concomitanza di ampio parcheggio, ciclabile e fermata bus, offre anche area pic-nic con tavoli e postazioni riparazioni biciclette fai da te. Bella la cartellonistica esterna del geoparco che necessiterebbe di essere recintato in maniera permanente e sorvegliato. Suggerisco la messa in opera di una fontanella dell'acqua esterna al museo.

(Translated by Google) Little known, but worth a visit, with dedicated parking (Original) Poco conosciuto, ma merita la visita, con parcheggio dedicato

Shalow water, clean, short distance to parking (0.50€ per hour) Free shower. Bar on the beach.

Great for bambini, lots of shallows and the awesome little playground made by nonno Franko. Parking is tricky but that's just the way around here; remain patient, respect the fact everyone else is trying to do exactly the same thing and you'll find the parking space of your dreams. Or just walk further and stop stressing out.

Really nice, clean beach

(Translated by Google) Very nice long very spacious beach. Gate 3 can also be accessed with your dog, who can stay on the beach and even swim. The beaches where they have sunbeds and umbrellas are much fuller. Sandy sea, shallow water for quite a while, also ideal for children You can see the sun setting which is wonderful. Behind it there is an immense pine forest, which is a pity that it is used as a shitter by humans and then they complain about the dogs on the beach who are not so dirty. (Original) Spiaggia molto bella lunga molto spaziosa. Al varco 3 si accede anche con il cane può stare sulla spiaggia e fare anche il bagno. Molto più piene le spiagge dove hanno lettini e ombrelloni. Mare di sabbia acqua bassa per un bel po' ideale anche per i bambini Si vede tramontare il sole che è una meraviglia. Alle spalle c'è un'immensa pineta peccato che è usato come un cagatoio dagli esseri umani e poi si lamentano dei cani in spiaggia che non sono così sporchi.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach! Both free and equipped! I recommend the free one... entrance number 3. Behind there is the pine forest to stay protected from the sun. Clean beach and shallow, crystal clear water. Ideal for children. Advised! (Original) Bella spiaggia! Sia libera che attrezzata! Io consiglio quella libera… ingresso numero 3. Dietro c’è la pineta per stare al riparo dal sole. Spiaggia pulita e acqua bassa e cristallina. Ideale per i bambini. Consigliato!

(Translated by Google) Excellent beach, both free and equipped. Crystal clear sea with sloping seabed. Accessible from multiple openings in the pine forest behind the beach. There are also picnic spots where you can eat in the shade of the pine forest. Absolutely recommended. (Original) Ottima spiaggia,sia libera che attrezzata. Mare cristallino con fondale digradante. Accessibile da più varchi nella pineta alle spalle della spiaggia. Ci sono anche punti pic nic dove poter mangiare all'ombra della pineta. Consigliato assolutamente.

(Translated by Google) Nice to visit both from above and on foot (Original) Bello da visitare sia dall'alto e a piedi

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and interesting, recommended. The guide is very knowledgeable and good at explaining. (Original) Bellissimo e interessante, consigliato. Molto preparata la guida, e brava nell'esporre.
