The 18 best beaches in and around Castiglione della Pescaia

Beautiful scenery, lots of wildlife and great place for the kids.

Great snorkeling beach. Go early in the morning when the water is clear and calm (we reached around 9:30 am in early June). Enter the beach near the rocks to your right. Swim along the rocks for a couple hundred meters. You will pass many nooks and corners with schools of fish taking shelter, which you can explore at your leisure. Water got murkier later in the day once the waves picked up. So we left around noon. There is a tiny free area for people to set up umbrellas and lie down, but it gets full very early (say 10-11am on a weekday). After that you have to buy a lounger+umbrella space on the paid beach nearby. There are beach restaurants. We biked there from Riva del Sole on rental bikes. Not sure where the car parking is but it is probably a long walk.

Fairly easy to get to. The car park Parcheggio da Spaggia de Capezzolo was tight but fair price fir the day. Then we got onto the beach which was sandy and the water is fairly close to the umbrellas and sun loungers. We rented our sun loungers and umbrella from the chap at the cafe bar and he took us to our umbrella and sun loungers. We were literally on the waters edge. Perfect setting for a wonderful day. The close proximity of your neighbours does not lend itself to private conversations or space so be aware the next sun loungers and people are an arm's length next to you. Would recommend coming to this beautiful beach and location well worth the drive.

Marvelous. Very calm place with clean and warm water. Special place for families. A bit overcrowded in July and August. A tip, during those months better to arrive before 9am or after 1pm

(Translated by Google) Little pomp and plenty of charm; a pleasant visit for me. From visitcastiglionedellapescaia.it: "Redeveloped from a space of military origin, built in the Middle Ages to store weapons and artillery, the Church of St. John the Baptist, also known as the "chiesona," is located in the medieval historic center of the town, leaning against the main wall. Its construction dates back to the 16th century. The entrance portal features an early medieval bas-relief depicting evangelical symbols, while the trussed roof rests directly on the gallery of the walls. The bell tower, meanwhile, was built in the early 20th century, designed by Lorenzo Porciatti, in Neo-Gothic style with references to Moorish architecture. In addition to a precious 17th-century silver shrine, the Church of St. John the Baptist houses the relics (parts of the arms and legs) belonging to the city's patron saint, William of Aquitaine, also known as "of Malavalle." (Original) Poco sfarzo e tanta suggestione; per me piacevole visita. Da visitcastiglionedellapescaia it: "Ricavata da uno spazio d’origine militare, realizzato nel Medioevo per depositare armi e artiglierie, la Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista, nota anche come la “chiesona”, è situata nel centro storico medievale del paese, addossata alla parete principale della cinta muraria. La sua edificazione risale al XVI secolo. Sul portale d’ingresso è presente un bassorilievo altomedievale raffigurante simboli evangelici mentre il tetto a capriate poggia direttamente sul ballatoio delle mura. Il campanile è stato invece realizzato nei primi anni del Novecento, su progetto di Lorenzo Porciatti, in stile neogotico con richiami all’architettura moresca. Oltre ad una preziosa teca in argento del XVII secolo, all’interno della Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista sono custodite le reliquie (parti delle braccia e delle gambe) appartenenti al Santo Patrono della città, Guglielmo di Aquitania, detto anche “di Malavalle”

(Translated by Google) Losing myself among the narrow, steep alleys of the village, I discovered this gem of a church. From visitcastiglionedellapescaia.it: Incorporated into the southern section of the walls immediately below the tower, the church dates back to the 13th century. It is a small, single-nave church. At the center of the main altar is an 18th-century canvas depicting the Madonna, Child, and two angels, known as the Madonna of the Lily. (Original) Perdendomi tra gli stretti e ripidi vicoli del Borgo ho scoperto questa bomboniera di chiesa. Da visitcastiglionedellapescaia it: Inglobata nella parte meridionale delle mura immediatamente sotto il torrione, la chiesa risale al XIII secolo. È una chiesa di piccole dimensioni e ad aula unica. Al centro sull’altare maggiore è collocata una tela settecentesca con la Madonna, il Bambino e due angeli denominata Madonna del Giglio.
