With one of the Mediterranean's clearest blue seas lapping against its shores, the Tuscan coastline offers an extraordinary variety of environmental conditions, particularly insofar as concerns the forms of the coastline.
Long sandy coastlines such as those of Versilia and the Etruscan coast, the rocky cliffs of Piombino and the Argentario, lthe unspoilt natural landscape of the Maremma and the islands of the Archipelago. There are also the immense pine-woods, the lakes with their abundant birdlife, the peaceful mouths of the rivers Arno and Ombrone, and the colours and fragrances of the Mediterranean brush.
These unique landscapes have been one of the attractions of the coast since the end of the 19th century, when the first holidaymakers discovered the healthy properties of sea-bathing and walks in the pine-woods.
