Situated in the beautiful Cecina River valley,
Bibbona retains all the fascination of a medieval
village surrounded by green woods and countryside.
The wide strip of pinewoods, interrupted
only by the fort built by the French in theeighteenth century,
defines the boundaries of the four kilometers of town beaches.
Worthy of note is the unusual size of the dunes. The residential
area of Marina occupies less than one fourth of the adjacent
countryside which is still cultivated today.
Much of the landscape is more or less similar to what was
passed on to the inhabitants at the time of the drainage of
the land. But the pine trees, at the peak of their productive
cycle, require consideration and care. The town of Bibbona
is now planning to plant more trees to form another strip
of pinewoods.
One of the Costa degli Etruschi's
most popular holiday resorts, it grew up around an 18th century
fort built on the coast to protect against attacks by pirates.
A long, wide sandy beach, sculpted here and there by sand
dunes and Mediterranean scrub
tombolos, runs between the sea and a splendid thick pine and
juniper wood. "Punto Azzurro" serviced public beaches
alternate with paid-entry equipped beaches.
Sport, fun
and relaxation here are all the
ingredients for a holiday to suit everyone's needs.
