Forte dei Marmi
Tuscany
Named for the fort Napoleon's engineers built to load Carrara marble onto ships, Forte dei Marmi grew from a marble port into the Tuscan elite's beach resort of choice — a low-key, expensive strip of pinewood villas and bathing clubs (bagni) with the jagged Apuan Alps as a backdrop rising straight from the sand.
