Baratti Marina

Baratti is a small, ancient marina tucked inside the Gulf of Baratti, right at the foot of a headland that's been inhabited since Etruscan times — the archaeological park of Populonia is a short walk away. The setting is genuinely special: clear turquoise water, a pine-fringed shoreline, and one of the most sheltered natural bays on the Tuscan coast. It's a modest, no-frills facility with limited berths, so come early in peak season if you want a spot.
