punta falcone and sterpaia nature parks
Punta Falcone Park, set between the Gulfs of Salivoli and Cala Moresca (entrance to the Baratti-Populonia park),
offers routes of natural and historical interest.
The Park, dense with vegetation where colonies of seagulls and cormorants live, is bordered by the Piombino
promontory. An enchanting trail through Spiaggia Lunga, Cala San Quirico and Buca delle Fate leads to the Gulf
of Baratti.
An astronomical observatory and a small museum about the 2nd World War are situated at its highest point.
Sterpaia Coastal Park is a valuable, rare wet forest, typical of the old Maremma coastal landscape, home to centuries-old
plants and small fauna.Sand dunes separate the forest of ash and oak from long, white sandy beaches.
