Tuscany - Maremma, Feniglia Nature Reserve

It's the second last day of the October and we find ourselves on a near deserted beach, the sun is shining hot and the water is warm enough to swim, it's as close to perfect as you could ask for, we have found the Feniglia sandbar a Nature Reserve just 3 km from Porto Ercole on the Argentario.

The reserve is open to pedestrian or bicycle traffic only and has a magnificent flat pine forest, perfect for bike riding, it edges onto the beach so you can just ride to a spot of beach and pitch your towels down for the day, you must take your own water and food with your though as this is one piece of beach in Italy that has no bars or beach clubs, you really are on your own, I felt for a moment that I was back in Australia. ..
