Marina di Bibbona between beach, pine forest and fort

The coast of Marina di Bibbona features wide beaches with fine sand, typical tomboli covered in Mediterranean scrub and distinctive dunes.

Beach between free sections and bathing establishments

The beaches of Marina di Bibbona include both sections partly equipped with bathing establishments and free sections. One section of the free beaches is reserved for dogs. The scrub and dunes are tangible landscape features for observing nature, just as the fine sand is for a day at the coast. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore consider whether free beach areas, bathing establishments or the dog-friendly section are more important for your travel plans.

Pine forest and Tomboli di Cecina Nature Reserve

The Pineta di Marina di Bibbona is part of the Tomboli di Cecina Nature Reserve. The protected area stretches for 15 kilometres and is divided into the northern Tombolo Settentrionale and the southern Tombolo Meridionale. The southern section extends from Marina di Cecina to Marina di Bibbona. In addition to the open beach, this provides a vast, clearly structured coastal landscape as a destination in its own right for nature and walking enthusiasts. Those planning walks in the pine forest can use the two sections, Tombolo Settentrionale and Tombolo Meridionale, as points of reference within the protected area.

Getting oriented around the pine forest

The Pineta di Marina di Bibbona can be reached via the La California exit from the Aurelia SS1, as well as via Via dei Cavalleggeri Nord to the area of Camping Free Beach.
