Golfo di Baratti
The drive from San Vincenzo to pretty waterside
Baratti
in the Baratti Gulf is a dead-
straight 12km motor south along an avenue lined by sky-high parasol pines backing onto
beautiful sandy beaches. Baratti itself is a gorgeous little fishing port with a couple of
lovely restaurants.
