Cala Violina

Drop anchor off Cala Violina, a strikingly beautiful white-sand cove tucked between two rocky promontories inside the Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve. The beach is famous for the faint musical sound its quartz sand makes underfoot, and the surrounding Mediterranean scrub keeps the whole place feeling genuinely wild and unspoiled. Access to the shore is limited to protect the reserve, so the crowd stays manageable and the water stays crystal clear.
