As
a seaside resort Marina di Pietrasanta has a peculiarity: it owns, in an
harmonious whole, the most beautiful natural beauties. Each of these, if
considered by itself, could be vaunt of every tourist resort. The sea,
the beach, the pinewoods and the mountains are the elements that, in a
range of few kms, offer a wonderful landscape in an atmosphere of quite
relax. Marina di Pietrasanta comprehends Focette, Motrone, Tonfano and
Fiumetto (from the south to the north). The first emotion the guest gets
in arriving in Marina di Pietrasanta derives from the sight of the beach
and the sea. A wide and sandy beach stretching for about five kms, so
large in some points to reach 200 mts; a transparent blue sea whose
depth degrades sweetly, so that it seems to be too familiar even to the
most unskilled of the swimmers.

The spaciousness typical of this shore is
such that, even during the most crowded periods, the bathers feel
completely comfortable thanks to the space
available to each of them. More than 100 are the
bathing establishments
along the coast. They are perfectly equipped and easily reachable
passing through a row of gardens. Just after the coastal Avenue is the
inland street-network. Parks and gardens have been put between the urban
settlements: that is the reason why they appear much more similar to a
residential area than to a city. Focette, Montrone and Fiumetto are some
examples.

Built in a big pinewood, these centres are
made by elegant villas and hotels surrounded by the greenery; they own
suggestive roads, tennis-courts
surrounded by pinetrees, shops and famous night-clubs where
international-level shows are organized. Tonfano has much more urban
characteristics. It hosts the town-centre and the main tourist
equipments. From Fiumetto, northwards of the Appia Avenue, nearby
Forte dei Marmi, is the Versiliana Park. (about 1.000.000 quad kms). This
park belongs nowadays to the town.

In summer qualified cultural programs
(prose, dance, music, cinema and cabaret) take place in the big pinewood
surrounding the famous villa where the poet D'Annunzio had lived. A
rectilinear tree-lined Avenue starts from Fiumetto towards the inland in
order to joint this place to Pietrasanta
(3.5 kms), a town situated between the Aurelia Avenue and the
Apuan Alps
