From Torremozza to Perelli and beyond, there are 13 km of beach with fine sand, shallow seabeds are perfect for children, and pinewoods. Carbonifera and Torremozza beach are the closest to the village.
Torremozza is a beautiful beach on which stands an ancient tower of 1500 that served to keep away the Saracen incursions. The environment that you meet here is wild, characterized by sand dunes and reed beds.
A few meters from the shore, a water nap, you can see a cliff that runs voice was a stretch of the ancient via Aurelia. For those who love diving even on shallow waters, you can see here octopus, or bass, and other local fishes.
Carbonifera instead takes its name from the nineteenth-century tower that still dominates the beach and that in the past was a commercial stopover, which marked the point of arrival of the railroad that transported the coal of mines inland to the sea. The beach of clear and fine sand is protected by the coastal dunes behind which the domestic pines are erected.
CALA VIOLINA
Beach of heartbreaking beauty, closed like a small gulf of clear and soft sand, framed by pines and Mediterranean vegetation, with crystal clear waters is the beautiful Cala Violina. The name is due to the sound that emits the sand when it is trampled, sound that resembles that of a violin, sound that to be heard it is necessary the silence around. For this and other reasons, the ideal time to visit this wonderful cove is spring.

HOLE OF FAIRIES
Between the promontory of Piombino and that of Populonia there is a small bay with a very suggestive name, Hole of the fairies. This is a Pebble cove, with cliffs of rock overlooking the sea, a clear sea, crystalline and unspoiled nature.

At the end of the course you will be breathless thanks to the spectacle of nature that we live: shades of blue of the sea that contrast with the almost white cliff and on the horizon the island of Elba.
