Darsena Beach

Darsena Beach is a public beach located in the vicinity of Viareggio, a city known for its private beaches. The beach is characterized by its soft sand and clean water, providing a closer-to-nature experience for visitors who prefer a more natural setting over the private parasol beaches. The beach offers free parking, however, it is advised to arrive early to secure a spot. For those who prefer to walk, the beach is approximately a 40-minute walk from the centre of Viareggio, which may be challenging for families with young children. One of the unique features of Darsena Beach is its small bar that sells freshly made focaccine, adding to the overall beach experience. Despite its popularity, the beach is not overly crowded, providing a quiet and relaxing atmosphere for visitors. While some areas of the beach are private, the public area of Darsena Beach is welcoming to all visitors, regardless of their country of origin. However, it is important to respect the designated private areas to avoid any misunderstandings with the private lifeguards.
