I’m going to let you in on a little secret. It’s called Forte dei Marmi and it’s the quietly chic beach town that Tuscans have been keeping to themselves for decades—a century, really.
So many places in Versilia and Liguria that have not been popularized by Rick Steeve’s and IG. Let’s hope Substack doesn’t give them all away.😎😎😎 But thanks for sharing your local knowledge!!
I ended up there by accident one day while on a road trip and thought I’d been transported back to the fifties! I loved the atmosphere, but not so much the $100 umbrella-and-chairs rate on the beach. Great to visit, though.
I have a feeling the regulars may get a discount when they buy season passes at the beach clubs... The beach was mostly empty during my visits, since it was too early in the season, but I had a lovely lunch at Bagno Assunta both times. It really does feel like time traveling back to the '50s!

I guess it’s a good thing I have a much smaller audience than Rick Steves! 😂
