The coast stretches along the Tyrrheneam Sea including the towns of Pisa,San
Giuliano and a small part of Bocca di Serchio. The entire coast to the south
of the Arno is built up by the towns of Marina and Tirrenia.
At Tirrenia the beaches are still quite extensive and are protected by a strip
of pine trees. In late spring rock roses and brooms greet the first swimmers
with their many pink and yellow flowers.
The beach was formed in the course of the millennia through the changing of
the tides. The sand dunes, which are still present, form a line of the great
banks almost parallel to the coastline. The most ancient of them reach a height
of 18 meters and still intact with Palazzetto Nature Reserve in San Rossore.
The flora of this environment, although it is poor in species, create some of
the particular associations which determine the form of the beaches.
