Tuscany is probably best known for its rolling rural hills, glorious sunshine and architecture, but the Tuscan coastline, with its bright blue ocean, rocky cliffs and sprinkling of islands is no less beautiful than the interior. And it’s got the beach! The Tuscan culinary traditions extend to seafood, figs and grapes along the coastline, and you’re not far from the art museums either. The Hotel Gurus recommend Viareggio if you’re looking for sandy beaches, and some of their picks for the best hotels on the Tuscan Coast for sea views and the beach have been uncovered here. They like the dune and nature reserves to the east of Pisa if you’re looking for the best hotels on the Tuscan Coast for romance, and Porto Santo Stefano and Port’Ercole if you’re into boats. But they’ve recommendations for families, groups and great value choices too.
