Baratti

Baratti features a sandy beach with clear waters surrounded by ancient umbrella pine forests, creating a natural shelter along the Tuscan coastline at approximately 8 meters above sea level.

The area served as an important Etruscan settlement and maritime trading post, with archaeological remains including the necropolis of Populonia demonstrating continuous habitation since ancient times.

Local traditions center around Etruscan heritage with archaeological museums displaying ancient artifacts, ceramics, and burial items that reflect the sophisticated civilization that once thrived here.

Visitors can access the beach facilities including sunbeds and umbrellas, with parking available nearby and accommodation options ranging from bed and breakfasts to holiday homes in the surrounding area.

The San Cerbone necropolis represents the only known Etruscan burial site constructed directly on the seashore, making it an exceptional archaeological discovery in Mediterranean coastal studies.
