The Strada Provinciale 19 (SP19) is about 10 km long. The route is direct and scenic, immersed in the Tuscan countryside and easily passable by car or bus. Beware 🚫 though, the road is narrow, winding and busy, therefore dangerous for us cyclists.

Among the many beaches you can visit and experience during a vacation in Tuscany on the Etruscan Coast, the splendid Gulf of Baratti is undoubtedly worth a visit. With its distinctive horseshoe shape and dark, gleaming sand, the Gulf of Baratti is a popular destination for many tourists every year and a favorite among locals, who flock to the pine forest from the first long, warm spring days. Baratti's uniqueness lies precisely in the splendid and characteristic nature that surrounds it: the large meadow, known by locals as "il pratone," comes to life every spring amid the voices and laughter of young people who organize picnics and outdoor walks here. It reaches its peak in summer, when you can enjoy not only the crystal-clear blue sea but also the natural shade of its beautiful and famous maritime pines that reach almost to the beach.
