The Sterpaia Coastal Park is formed by a beautiful forest and beaches with characteristic fine sand dunes.\u00a0The park extends over 296 hectares situated along the stretch of coastline between Piombino<\/a><\/strong> and Follonica<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0at the northern of Maremma. A paradise for those who love long walks on the beach, just 5 km from Follonica.\u00a0The Sterpaia Coastal Park is part of the Val di Cornia Parks<\/a><\/strong>. The system includes also Rimigliano Park,\u00a0the Archaeological Park of Baratti and Populonia, the Archaeological Mines Park of San Silvestro, the Natural\u00a0Park of Montioni and the Forestry Park of Poggio Neri.<\/p>\n The Sterpaia Coastal Park is also known for its crystal- clear sea waters<\/strong> and sandy bottoms<\/strong>, and for its long\u00a0wide beach of fine golden sand, hidden in the nearby pinewoods accessible by trails through a vast forest of\u00a0age-old trees oaks, tamarisks, cork oaks and ashes. The Sterpaia Coastal Park has a long free beach provided\u00a0with all the facilities required to have a pleasant holiday: snack areas, wooden tables and several services for\u00a0disabled people. An ideal place where to find a little peace<\/strong> between the green<\/strong> of the pine forest and the\u00a0dunes.<\/p>\n The name of Carbonifera Beach<\/strong> comes from the presence of an ancient commercial point, a tower from the\u00a019th century<\/strong>, when coal was here carried by railway from the mines to sea. The tower which stands on the\u00a0beach marks the spot where the railway ended.<\/p>\n Departure point is easily reached by leaving the SS1 Variante Aurelia at the Vignale-Riotorto junction and\u00a0carrying on towards Piombino: after 2 km turn off to the left to the Sterpaia Coastal Park.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Sterpaia Coastal Park is formed by a beautiful forest and beaches with characteristic fine sand dunes.\u00a0The park extends over 296 hectares situated along the stretch of coastline between Piombino and Follonica,\u00a0at the northern of Maremma.
