Forte dei Marmi

Forte dei Marmi, the crown jewel of Tuscany's Mediterranean coast, boasts unmatched sun-kissed shores and seaside splendor. Its past tells a story of transformation from a quaint fishing village to a glamorous jet-set playground. Candy-colored umbrellas from beach clubs dot the pristine sands, with the Apuan Alps providing a majestic backdrop. Renowned sculptors like Michelangelo and Jeff Koons have drawn inspiration from nearby Carrara and Pietrasanta.
