Beach and nature
Castiglione della Pescaia
Castiglione is a good spot for every kind of tourist: if you like beach and sea, the beaches are quality certified by the Foundation for Environmental Education’s Blue Flag and the small marina offers diving and fishing experiences, boat tours of the Tuscan Archipelago; if you’re more into sociality and eating well you could just take a walk on the promenade or in the borgo with lots of shops, bars and restaurants; nature lovers would certainly visit the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve,a resource for biodiversity.

For sea and sailing lovers
Puntala e Marina di Scarlino harbours
Both harbours are 15 minutes away from La Luna. Punta Ala, on the southern limit of the Follonica Gulf, has been a port since ancient times but the actual harbour was made in the 70s then re-gained popularity in the late 90s when it became basis of America’s Cup winner Luna Rossa! The name Luna Rossa (Red Moon) has been chosen by the ship owner Patrizio Bertelli admiring a big, reddish, full moon while having dinner at La Luna! Marina di Scarlino is more recent, naturally shielded from bad weather and hosts a resort, a dockyard and an official Nautor’s Swan center.

The beach that plays a melody
Cala Violina
The name Cala Violina (Violin Bay) comes from the melodic sound the sand makes while you walk thanks to small quartz grains. It is a magical place in the Scarlino Nature Reserve, between sea and Mediterranean scrub. You can book a visit.
