We were thinking of visiting one of the public beaches in Maremma. Has anyone been to one they'd especially recommend? One they'd especially avoid?
Thanks a lot.

In the Principina area there can be issues with midges.

Are you driving a car?
Most are public. Some spots have beach club concessions where you can rent umbrellas and chairs, but even those must be free for all within 5 meters from the water and they still have free beaches next to them.
Cala Violina, Punta Ala, Giglio island beaches. There are hundreds great beaches to choose from.
