Around 5 km from Follonica we find the beach of Carbonifera. It owes its name to the ancient hydraulic station built in 1870 for the reclamation of the area. The small tower of the station together with the small pier are the reference points of this enchanting beach nestled in the uninterrupted sandy coastline that rises from Follonica up to Piombino. You can leave the car in an equipped parking lot, reach the sea on foot and choose between free beach and equipped beach. The sand is light and fine, the shallow water suitable for children offers spectacular plays of light and color. The pine forest behind offers a pleasant relief on the hottest days.
