Lido Di Camaiore: Beach, Pier and Ciclovia Tirrenica

Lido di Camaiore between the beach, pier and cycle path

If you would like to combine days at the beach in Tuscany with clear landmarks and individual cultural experiences, Lido di Camaiore is a well-defined holiday destination. Lido di Camaiore has been a seaside resort since the early 20th century. Its most distinctive feature is a more than four-kilometre-long beach of fine sand.

The beach and Lungomare as fixed points of reference

The relationship between the beach and the town’s structure is particularly helpful when choosing your accommodation: in Lido di Camaiore, the Ciclovia Tirrenica runs from Via Astoria on the border with Pietrasanta to Fosso dell’Abate on the border with Viareggio. The route follows the entire Lungomare of Lido di Camaiore. The documented section is more than 3 kilometres long. If you plan to include cycling in your trip, you will therefore find a clearly described route here whose beginning, end and course along the Lungomare are established. The route complements the fine sandy beach with a second way to experience the town along its coastline. The Pontile di Lido di Camaiore adds its own architectural accent. The pier is 285 metres long and 4 metres wide. At its end there is an oval area of approximately 700 square metres, with a glazed section and a bar. The approximate size of the oval is part of the description of this destination and should therefore be understood as an approximate value. When the sea is rough, surfers set off from the Pontile di Lido di Camaiore with their boards. The pier therefore represents not only a long, straight structure extending over the water, but also a place where sporting activity can be observed under certain sea conditions.

Art and special visits

In addition to the beach, Lungomare and Pontile, Lido di Camaiore also has smaller cultural points of interest. Galleria Europa is an exhibition space for art exhibitions and artistic events. It can therefore provide a different focus from a day at the beach or along the Ciclovia Tirrenica: the emphasis there is on changing exhibitions and artistic events, not on a general collection of sights. A special form of visit concerns Villino Mezzaluna in Lido di Camaiore, Via 1 maggio 58. The Villino was opened for guided visits by the Ville Storiche della Versilia association, with the owners’ agreement. Appointments were scheduled for Friday, 28 August, as well as 25 September and 16 October, with mandatory reservations and a fee of 10 euros. This information explicitly describes a guided visit format requiring a reservation and specifies the scheduled dates; it should therefore not be equated with a freely accessible tour available at any time.
