THE EXPERIENCES

The Tomboli di Cecina Nature Reserve is located at the Marina of Cecina and includes the Tomboli, long stretches of dunes that are covered with thick vegetation that stretch from the beach inland from the coast and represent a characteristic ecosystem created to protect the cultivated area from the sea winds.

The Reserve, extending for 15 kilometers, is one of the most beautiful Italian forests, rich with thick and varied vegetation that gradually changes as you go from the sea inland. Lilies and sea poppies bloom on the beach, while in the lower scrub junipers grow and in the higher scrub holly oaks, maritime pines and domestic pine thrive. The area offers a refuge to a variety of species of animals: wild rabbits, foxes, weasels, porcupines, roe deer and badgers. Among the birds, you will find turtle doves, green woodpeckers, hoopoes and wood pigeons which stay in the area for long periods of time.

Physical activity
and relaxation

The Nature Reserve is the ideal place for physical activities completely immersed in nature. Running, walking, biking and Nordic walking are popular daily on the various paths in the pine forest. In addition, at the entrance of the Marina Di Cecina ( the nature reserve connects the town of Cecina to the town of Bibbona) there is a fitness area where you can work out in the shade of the many pine trees. A unique and pristine area, ideal to spend a day at sea, have lunch under the canopy of the trees, do sports or enjoy the silence and the scent of the underbrush.
