In 2006 San Vincenzo was awarded the European Blue Flag for beaches.
Dotted along the splendid beach with its fine golden sand stretching out for kilometres are several private bathing establishments alternating with public facilities known as “Punti Azzurri”.
The crisp air and light breeze is perfect for water sports. The former commercial port is now a large, well-equipped marina with hundreds of berths for boats.

Over 20% of the Costa degli Etruschi consists of parks, protected areas, nature and wildlife reserves.

PARCO DI RIMIGLIANO
The Parco Naturale di Rimigliano, is a natural/wildlife reserve bordering the sea whose unspoilt landscape is the perfect place to enjoy pleasant strolls.
Established in 1973 and covering around 120 hectares, the Park is one of the most evocative spots on the coast.
Hosts of sea daffodils blossom on the shore stretching from San Vincenzo to the gulf of Baratti, the dunes are covered with juniper bushes, myrtle and lentisk shrubs; holm-oak and cork-oak woods alternate with pine thickets on the edges of the beach.

ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK OF BARATTI AND POPULONIA
The “Parco archeologico di Baratti e Populonia” covers around 80 hectares and lies on the slopes of the Piombino headland overlooking the gulf of Baratti. This important Etruscan archaeological site was the home to the Etruscan metalworking industry and offers important insights into their cultural and trading activities.

THEME PARK "CAVALLINO MATTO"
The Cavallino Matto theme park situated in the Marina di Castagneto Carducci pinewood offers you the opportunity to spend an unforgettable day immersed in nature.
Games and attractions suited to the whole family are laid out in 60,000 sq. m of Mediterranean “macchia”.

Near San Vincenzo you will find the ancient towns of Campiglia, Suvereto and Populonia.

CAMPIGLIA
Campiglia Marittima features the typical medieval architecture characterising the ancient hamlets on the Costa degli Etruschi.
It is built on the twin peaks of Rocca and Poggiame with roads, lanes, narrow alleys and houses laid out in a series of semi-circles along the hill slopes.
A town suspended between thousand years of history and its busy present, with winding, paved streets leading to tiny churches, old workshops and museums.
The extremely mild climate favours the surrounding olive groves, vineyards and Mediterranean “macchia” producing fine wines and oil.

SUVERETO
One of the valley’s most magnificent “comuni” is without a doubt Suvereto. Drawn by its unique history and artistic culture visitors find themselves immersed in the magical atmosphere of a medieval hamlet surrounded by beautiful countryside.

POPULONIA
Perched on a hill-top overllooking the sea, this medieval town is fascinating beyond words.
Its ancient walls, built to protect it from pirates, and the Rocca, or fortress, constructed in the first half of the 15th century, enclose narrow paved streets, little emporiums and a private museum housing Etruscan and Roman artefacts found in the local area and in the nearby sea.
A street with a marvellous view of the surrounding panorama leads from Populonia to the gulf of Baratti, where there are important Etruscan remains.
