what beach is florence close to
The beaches of the Maremma are among the best in Italy-white and uncrowded, with colder, cleaner water than those along the Versilia coast. The Marina di Grosseto, about 12 km from the town of Grosseto, is the most popular destination. These beaches are a good distance from Florence, but in many ways they are decidedly superior to the more popular destinations nearby. Just 20 minutes past Grosseto on the same train lie Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci (take the Donoratico stop).
