Tirrenia: Beach, Pine Forest and Dunes

Tirrenia is a seaside resort surrounded by an extensive Mediterranean pine forest. Its large coastal beach is considered its main attraction. This combination makes choosing Tirrenia about more than just the beach; you can weigh up which of these features you want to shape your stay by considering the places and activities.

Coast, Beach and Sailing

Tirrenia’s coastal beach includes bathing establishments and freely accessible beach sections. This means there are two different ways to enjoy the beach along the same coastline, which you can consider separately when planning your trip. The large beach is the seaside resort’s main attraction; sailing is also offered as a sporting activity in the coastal area. If you’re mainly planning to spend time by the sea, the beach and sailing are two specific but distinct options.

Dunes and Golf

In the Oasi Dune di Tirrenia, the coastal dunes reach heights of up to ten metres. The dunes create a distinctive landscape alongside the beach. Some paths in the Oasi are accessible to people with disabilities. This accessibility applies to some paths; before your visit, check which path is suitable for your needs.

Golf is another activity in Tirrenia. The Golf Club Tirrenia course was designed by English architect Ken Cotton and established in 1967. The Golf Club Tirrenia grounds cover 85 hectares. The golf academy offers lessons for all skill levels; check current booking details in advance, as they may change. The grounds have signposts and explanatory panels, and the nature trail is accessible to people with disabilities. Guided tours of the natural area at Golf Club Tirrenia are arranged by prior reservation. The accessibility information differs in scope: in the Oasi it applies to some paths, while at the golf club it applies to the nature trail.

Culture and Leisure

Tirrenia’s film history also has a clear timeframe: films were shot at the Pisorno and Cosmopolitan film studios in Tirrenia between 1934 and 1969.

Parco di Ciclilandia is a public green space in the heart of Tirrenia. The park is equipped for events and cultural initiatives, especially in summer. If a specific date is important for your trip, check event dates in advance.

Sunlight Water Park has swimming pools for adults and children, as well as water slides. If a visit is important to your plans, check the current opening dates in advance.
