On this page we present the beaches in  East coast – ” Parco della Sterpaia ”

 

TORRE MOZZA

Torre Mozza is located in the southern part of the municipality of Piombino, centrally located in the Gulf of Follonica, 10,6 km far from Podere Casalpiano. The beach owes its name to the tower that was built in the 16th century by the Appiani family, Lords of Piombino, to oversee the transport of minerals from Elba. The structure is an impressive complex close to the sea shore, which is still privately owned. The beach has very clear sand and it has an adjacent pine forest. There are both free beaches areas and bathing establishments. The parking spaces are located behind the beach. The sea water is clear ad shallow. A few dozen meters from the shoreline, in about  one meter deep, there is a parallel reef to the shore that seems to be an ancient  Roman road ” VIA AURELIA”. It creates a “natural pool “effect, slowing the waves and stronger currents, with more safety for children and where you can easily watch examples of indigenous fishes.
