Along the stretch of sand that flanks the coast here in San Vincenzo, there are beaches you can access freely, as well as beach clubs you need to pay an entry fee to. In the first instance, you’ll need to bring everything you’ll need with you, though in certain areas there are more amenities than others (e.g. showers, lifeguards, cafés). A day access to a beach club usually already includes sun loungers and a beach umbrella, a locker and changing rooms, toilets and on-site restaurant. Locals typically buy seasonal passes, so if you prefer this option, stop by the front desk first to inquire if they’re at capacity and where can they place you.
Beach clubs in San Vincenzo
La Conchiglia
❢ via dell’orata 22, San Vincenzo
The last beach club on the north side, with a fine sandy beach that gradually descends into the sea, perfect for families as it comes with a playground right on the beach. Also great for those who want to walk, the beach in fact comes up to Donoratico. An early morning walk along the beach is particularly nice. The lounge bar is great for an apéritif at sunset, while the sea-view restaurant is the right place for a light lunch or a seafood dinner or even a pizza.
Where to park? Along the road or in the gravel parking lot behind the beach club near the railroad.
Are pets allowed? Yes.
Villa Marcella

Il Bucaniere
❢ via Marconi 22, San Vincenzo
At the entrance of the promenade and only a short walk from the pedestrian area. Depending on the currents, you may find some algae there. The waters are shallow thanks to the submerged dam in front of the establishment. The breakwater, that runs along the promenade, is great for snorkeling in search of fish. The restaurant is the scene-stealer here, especially at sunset when the sun dives into the water. Sophisticated dishes with top quality produce, chosen with passion.

Free Public Beaches in and near San Vincenzo
From La Conchiglia restaurant up until Donoratico
❢ via dell’orata 22, San Vincenzo
Just beyond the restaurant La Conchiglia there is a free public beach that goes as far as Pianetti and, for the more sporty, as far as Marina di Castagneto Carducci. It is uncontaminated and wild, for those who prefer a quieter and less crowded place to enjoy a relaxing day under the sun. Perfect also for a walk on the shoreline between one swim and another as the beach slopes gently into the water. Remember to bring water and something to eat, there are no kiosks, especially if you go very far from the restaurant. If you don’t have a beach umbrella, you can ask for one at the front desk of Podere L’Agave!

Are pets allowed? Yes.
In San Vincenzo
All along the coastline that runs along the town of San Vincenzo, there are many free public beaches between one beach club and another. Just follow the signs for any beach club and nearby you will find a stretch of free public beach. Being very small, in summer they are very crowded, so it is better to arrive early to be sure to find an available spot. We do not recommend the beaches adjacent to the port because there are often algae there. The beach slopes gently into the water, wherever you choose to stop.
Where to park? Along the road, but check whether you have to pay or if it is disc parking only.
Are pets allowed? No.
Parco di Rimigliano, south of San Vincenzo
❢ Strada provinciale della Principessa
It is a Coastal Nature Reserve that runs along the coast for about 8 km. Since it is a protected area there are no beach clubs but only free public beaches, and you can’t pick flowers (although the temptation is great, in spring the cyclamens are beautiful!) or take away firewood and pine cones. There are several numbered entrances along the road, and you have to walk a short stretch in the woods before you reach the sea. For each entrance inside the park there are toilets, showers and tables for a picnic in the shade. Only at the entrance number 4 there is a bar, Lago Verde which offers sandwiches, salads, apéritifs, ice cream and live music. Sun loungers and beach umbrellas can also be rented here. Dogs are welcome in the park but remember to bring some water and food for them as well since there are no equipped facilities except the Dog Beach at one end of the park. Next to the last two entrances near Locanda Oceano Mare there are the free gay-friendly beach and the naturist beach Nido dell’Aquila. From autumn until spring, the beach is a quiet hideaway where you can walk, take in the sea air and relax to the sound of the waves. Inside the park, among the trees and the squirrels that live here, there is a trail for those who want to learn more about botany.
Where to park? Parking is along the road on both sides, free in winter, metered in summer, but do not worry, go to the front desk of Podere L’Agave to collect the ticket to park for free and enjoy your time in the sun for as long as you want!
Are pets allowed? Yes.
