Buca delle fate

This is a beach area of footpaths, one of the few which can be reached by land, where the paths meet along the rocky coastline between the Piombino headland and that of Populonia.

The sea waters and the rocky sea bed is sheltered from the winds.  To reach the area you must take the road which leads from the Baratti Gulf to Populonia.

Before reaching the sight to the small tower of this village, park the car and follow the small but well indicated footpath  which passes through the scrubland.  The rapid rocky coastline starts after you have descended for about 20 minutes and it leads directly to the sea.
