Spiaggia Marina di Vecchiano, also known as Oasi Mare & Dune, is a tranquil beach located in Marina di Vecchiano, in the heart of Versilia, Italy. The beach is nestled within the beautiful natural park of San Rossore, Migliarino, and Massaciuccoli, which features abundant pine forests, dunes, and extensive beaches. The beach itself is characterized by its fine sand, clear and crystalline water, and a natural environment that houses protected animal and plant species. The dunes and trunks scattered across the beach play a crucial role in the formation and protection of the environment.
The beach is known for its breathtaking views, including the sunset over the sea, the verdant dunes, and the Apuan Alps in the background. Its location near major transportation routes, including the Aurelia state road, Fi-mare motorway, and Pisa, makes it easily accessible. Despite its proximity to urban areas, the beach offers a sense of tranquility, with the silence and stillness only broken by the sun and sea. The beach's rustic and natural charm is further enhanced by the scent of salt air, helichrysum juniper, myrtle, and resin.
Spiaggia Marina di Vecchiano offers a range of amenities to cater to all its visitors. It features a ristobar and a well-equipped beach area with sunbeds, umbrellas, and gazebos. The beach also provides a wheelchair for disabled guests to access the beach and swim in the sea. For children, there are ample opportunities for fun with beach games in a safe environment. An animation service conducted by experienced staff is also available to entertain both children and adults of all ages.
Despite its popularity, especially during the summer, the width of the beach allows for ample space, preventing overcrowding. The beach is largely free, with a few bathing establishments scattered around. There are both public and private car parks available for visitors, although parking can be a bit expensive for non-residents. Dogs are allowed at certain sections of the beach.
The beach also hosts a restaurant known for its local seafood dishes, as well as dishes made with fresh ingredients. In addition, there is a pizzeria, self-service option, and a bar that serves breakfast pastries and appetizers before dinner. Visitors can enjoy the added pleasure of sitting at a table on the terrace overlooking the sea. However, cleanliness can sometimes be an issue at the beach.
