Cala Violina, Mediterranean cove and beach in Scarlino, Italy.
The white sandy beach extends along a secluded cove surrounded by Mediterranean pine forest and clear turquoise waters in the Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve.
The coastal area was historically part of the defensive system of the Republic of Pisa, with watchtowers built to protect against maritime invasions.
The beach has become a symbol of environmental preservation in Tuscany, implementing a visitor quota system to maintain its natural conditions.
Access requires a prior online reservation with a fee of 1 euro per person, and visitors must walk 1.8 kilometers from the parking area.
The beach's quartz sand produces musical notes similar to violin strings when walked upon, giving the cove its distinctive name.
