While there are plenty of regular beaches, Italy has a particular tradition of paid beaches wherein you pay a fee to access a stretch of coast outfitted with lots of facilities and extras, such as showers, sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, bars, and more. You can, of course, go to free beaches open to the general public all over the country, but you will often have to do without showers or shade, bring your own loungers or towels to lay out on, deal with larger crowds, and bring or head elsewhere for various supplies like snacks and water. In the famous Tuscan seaside town of Viareggio there is one must-see paid beach that customers rave about on a regular basis: Bagno Maurizio. If you have found a holiday rental with a private pool in Viareggio and are planning on some beach days, spend at least one on this private stretch of the strand and you’ll have nothing to worry about and perfect, stress-free fun on the beach!
Bagno Maurizio is a 30m long stretch of the coast, walking distance from the town's beautiful pinewoods and from the town’s main square in the centre of Viareggio, Piazza Mazzini. Positioned right along the main promenade of Viareggio, Bagno Maurizio is surrounded by excellent cafés, restaurants and shops and, while you have to pay to use it, those who have almost all say that it is well worth the money. They offer sun loungers, showers, and a choice between 3 large 7.5m tents or classic beach umbrellas. The spaces between allotted umbrella and lounger areas is abundant, ensuring that you’ll never be backed up against other visitors and won’t have to fight for space. There are also no water sports (though you can partake in volleyball), which further ensures a peaceful atmosphere here. Kids can play safely in the well-defined playground, allowing everyone in the family to relax and have fun. Most of all, this private beach is particularly famous for its friendly and excellent service.
If you’re looking for somewhere to spend the day while exploring this beautiful seaside town in Tuscany, this private beach offers the opportunity to enjoy the charms of the city and the coast freely without any worries or concerns!
