Lucca and its attractions for beach lovers
While Lucca itself doesn’t boast a beach, the nearby coastal town of Viareggio offers stunning sandy stretches just a short drive away. Here, you can enjoy a leisurely day at the famous Bagno Teresa, where families can relax under sun umbrellas while children play in the shallow waters. For a taste of local culture, the promenade is lined with elegant Art Nouveau buildings and a lively atmosphere perfect for an evening stroll. Consider a visit to the nearby Cinque Terre; a day trip will reward you with breathtaking coastal views and charming villages, ideal for adventurous families. After a day of exploration, return to Lucca, where you can stay in well-appointed hotels that offer a blend of comfort and Tuscan charm while providing easy access to both the vibrant city and the nearby beaches. The area around Lucca provides a perfect base; enjoy the medieval city walls and delightful piazzas before retreating to your hotel for a restful night, ready for your next day by the sea.
