Spiaggia di Marina di Alberese, Parco della Maremma

Tuscany

Reached through the Pineta Granducale (by shuttle bus or bike in summer, on foot or by car off-season), this is a long strip of pale sand strewn with bleached driftwood, backed by high dunes and pinewood, with the Uccellina hills and their watchtowers rising to the south. Longartichi cattle and wild boar range the park behind.
