Bagno Raffaello

Northwestern Tuscany


Behind the clock tower on the seafront, this family-friendly bathing establishment rents out slide-equipped pedalos and canoes to beach-goers and has a small playground on the sand for younger children. Look for the royal-blue parasols, deckchairs and gazebos on the sand.
