Free-access beaches: Spiaggia Il Fortino and the 8 km-long coastal stretch

Spiaggia Il Fortino is one of four free-access beaches equipped by the Municipality of Massa. Ronchi Levante is part of an 8 km-long coastal stretch with free-access beaches. Il Fortino is an individual beach, while Ronchi Levante refers to an 8 km-long coastal stretch. This scale is relevant when planning your day: an individual beach and an 8 km-long stretch with free-access beaches call for different time allocations.

Parco Didattico WWF di Ronchi between coastal woodland and the Ciclovia Tirrenica

Parco Didattico WWF di Ronchi is a nature park in Marina di Massa. It protects an original coastal woodland landscape with the typical characteristics of a coastal forest and has been managed in cooperation with the Municipality of Massa since 1996. The park is also located along the route of the Ciclovia Tirrenica. For cycling plans, this location is a separate point of reference: anyone including the Ciclovia Tirrenica can take the park into account within the same planning framework. The original coastal woodland landscape gives the park its own character, while the Ciclovia Tirrenica provides cyclists with a specific route connection.

Nature trails, wetlands and animal centres in the WWF park

Parco Didattico WWF di Ronchi includes nature trails and wetlands. It also features aquariums, a visitor centre, aviaries and a botanical garden. At the Centro Recupero Animali Selvatici “L’Assiolo”, you can observe birds in the educational aviaries. A centre for the rehabilitation of sea turtles is also part of the park. Turtles are cared for there before being returned to their habitat. Visitors interested in nature can choose between different focuses: the educational aviaries are dedicated to observing birds, while the rehabilitation centre cares for sea turtles before their return to their habitat. Depending on your interests, the focus may be on the landscape, birds, plants or the care of sea turtles.
