Stunning beaches on which to play with your four-legged best friend

 

 

Baratti beach

Spiagga di Baratti: the San Cerbone beach at Canessa. This is the southern area of the beautiful beach at the Bay of Baratti between the tiny church of San Cerbone and Baratti's fishing port.

 

Although, I have to say that every time I visit the beach (which is often) and walk its entire length, even though there are clear signs along the public beach, dog owners have never drawn a distinction between the part where dogs are allowed and the larger bay area to the north where they aren't.

 

What makes Baratti beach a great location for families with dogs is that the beach itself is relatively protected from onshore winds, so great for whole days out. There's easy access from the public car park right behind the beach, so no long hauls with your beach gear. And a great large grassed park area with shady pine trees - le pineta - perfect for picnics and relief from the heat of a summer's day.

Between the campsite "Etruria" and the border of the Comune of Grosseto, 200 metres north of the beach Le Marze.

Scarlino

Puntone di Scarlino beach is also a haven for line fishermen and windsurfing (you can take lessons there from a Follonica based windsurfing school).

Easiest to find by heading towards Puntone di Scarlino and walking down alongside the River Pecora to where it oulets into the Tyrrhenian Sea. To the left and right of which is the part of the beach where dogs are allowed. (The southern-most limit is the Marina di Scarlino - you can't walk any further anyway! - and the northern-most limit is around the cargo-ship jetty.)
