Spiaggia di Cala Violina

The white sand beach stretches within the protected Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve, framed by two headlands and Mediterranean vegetation along the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The beach gained its reputation during the 20th century when local communities discovered the musical properties of its quartz-rich sand grains.

The beach represents a natural connection between land and sea in the Maremma region, where ancient Etruscan settlements left their marks.

Access requires advance online booking from June to September, with a limit of 700 visitors per day and a parking area at Pian d'Alma.

Walking on the sand produces musical notes due to the collision of quartz crystals, making it one of 100 locations worldwide with this characteristic.
