Spiaggia del Cannone, Sandy beach in Talamone, Italy.
Spiaggia del Cannone is a sandy beach on the Tuscan coast with fine sand and clear water lying below the medieval fortress. The cove is sheltered by the old town walls and forms a natural harbor for local fishermen.
The fortress above the beach dates from the Middle Ages and served as a strategic marine point. The location held importance in Etruscan and Roman times due to its coastal position.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional methods at the adjacent port, preparing their nets and boats according to generations-old practices.
The beach is easily accessible from the town center with designated parking areas nearby. Rental equipment is available during the warmer months, making a visit more convenient.
Underwater rock formations create small natural pools that attract various Mediterranean fish species. These shallow areas allow snorkelers to easily observe underwater life.
