Cala Martina, Protected cove in Scarlino, Italy.

Cala Martina features two distinct rocky bays within the Bandite nature reserve, stretching along 600 meters of natural coastline facing the Gulf of Follonica.

Giuseppe Garibaldi used this cove on September 2, 1849, to escape from papal armies by taking a fishing boat to Portovenere, marking a critical moment in Italian history.

A commemorative half-bust sculpture by artist Tolomeo Faccendi stands near the path to honor Garibaldi's historical passage through this location.

The nearest parking area is located at via Lungomare Garibaldi in Scarlino port, with a 45-minute walk through partially shaded paths to reach the beach.

The cove contains two separate bays with rocky shores, offering excellent conditions for observing marine life including fish, octopuses, starfish, and sea urchins.
