Yeah, here we go. The sun is shining and the temperatures are rising. There are miles of exceptional beaches a short drive up and down the coast from your base in Capalbio, our beautiful medieval town perched on a hilltop overlooking the nature reserve and the sea.

Our favorites – our friends – include Ultima Spiaggia and La Dogana in Chiarone, Oasi di Macchiatonda and Carmen Bay in Capalbio Scalo, Frigidaire and Bau Beach in Ansedonia, La Capannuccia in Feneglia, and Il Tramonto on the Orbetello peninsula. They all feature accessible parking, cool beachside cafes, showers and toilets, umbrella and sunbed hire, miles of free beach, and excellent restaurants. What’s not to like?
