Follonica: Things to See, Beaches and Tuscany’s Coast

Follonica is one of the most popular seaside destinations in Tuscany’s Maremma region, overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Follonica and known for its long sandy beaches, clear waters and lively atmosphere. Located south of San Vincenzo, it is an ideal destination for a relaxing day by the sea, scenic walks and entertainment.

The Follonica seafront is perfect for leisurely strolls, with beach clubs, restaurants, ice cream parlours and cafés overlooking the sea. The beaches, characterised by fine sand and gently sloping seabeds, are particularly popular with families with children.

Among the attractions worth visiting are the Pineta di Ponente, a beautiful pine forest offering a peaceful retreat in the shade, and the MAGMA – Museum of Cast Iron Arts in the Maremma, which tells the story of the town’s industrial heritage and its connection to ironworking. Nearby, the beaches of Pratoranieri and Torre Mozza offer even more opportunities to enjoy Tuscany’s beautiful coastline.

During your stay at Villa Liberty in San Vincenzo, Follonica makes a wonderful day trip to explore another stretch of the Tuscan coast, discover new beaches and enjoy a day surrounded by the sea, nature and local attractions.
