Discover San Vincenzo
San Vincenzo is a seaside town in Tuscany, located on the Etruscan Coast between Cecina and Piombino. Set along a stretch of sandy shoreline on the Tyrrhenian Sea, it combines a modern marina with a lively seafront lined with shops, restaurants and beach establishments. Behind the coast, pine forests and rolling countryside frame the town, offering a balance between seaside leisure and rural landscapes.
​
The Torre di San Vincenzo, a medieval watchtower overlooking the harbour, stands as a reminder of the area’s coastal defences. The nearby Rimigliano Coastal Park protects long stretches of unspoilt beach and Mediterranean vegetation, accessible via walking and cycling paths. San Vincenzo also serves as a convenient base for exploring Bolgheri, Campiglia Marittima, and Suvereto, as well as for reaching Piombino, the departure point for ferries to the Tuscan Archipelago.
