viareggio

A nice day at the beach… although finding a spot was difficile! It seems 99% of this beach is owned by resorts. A tiny strip at the south end (near the marina, where we parked) was “libera” … although completely full. We asked a few lifeguards if we could pay for a spot, but only one had anything available and it was at the back of the sand, nowhere near the water, for 15 euro. I didn’t mind paying, but we wanted to just lie on the sand, not sit in a tent next to the bar. So we walked all the way to north end and finally found the larger spiaggia libera, and by then there was a bit of open space. We hung out, played in the beautiful water and refreshed our tans for a few hours. When we walked out to the boardwalk, we saw we had actually walked further than Viareggio!

The beach resorts all seemed to be named after towns, and the one we were next to was called Abetone, funny enough, which is the ski resort near our apt.

Funny swinging clown…

Interesting beach town church:

On the way back to the car, we stopped for churros!
