Tuscan Riviera

Lido di Camaiore, on the Tuscan Riviera, has long been a fashionable spot. Artists, composers, poets and playwrights have all come to this laid-back seaside place, and it’s still popular for its beautiful squares and gardens – not to mention the sandy beach. As for nightlife, the waterfront prom is lined with plenty of bars and restaurants. And when it comes to getting around, you’ve got Pisa, Lucca and Florence all within easy reach.

The local beach

Lido di Camaiore’s beach is right in front of the pedestrian promenade, with its pretty flowerbeds and palm trees. It’s a fantastic stretch of sand that runs for 4 kilometres between neighbouring Marina di Pietrasanta and Viareggio. There’s a gentle shelf into the sea, some great watersports – and that prom with all the cafés and restaurants you could need.

Medieval towns and the city of Florence
