Spiaggia Rocchette is a renowned beach located in a picturesque coastal region of Tuscany, between the towns of Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala. The beach can be accessed via the SP158/SS322 coastal road, following the signs for Spiaggia Rocchette. It should be noted that the final stretch of road leading to the beach is rather narrow, thus it may be advisable to park one's vehicle a little earlier, particularly during the peak summer season, and proceed to the beach on foot.
The beach is known for its pristine sandy shores and a gently sloping seabed, making it an ideal spot for families with children. The clear waters and presence of occasional rocks make it a perfect location for snorkeling. Moreover, the beach is also home to some rocks on its right side which visitors can use to dive into the water.
Spiaggia Rocchette is characterized by its stunning natural features, including an imposing cliff and a centuries-old pine forest that lies behind the beach.
