When you choose to stay at OasiMaremma Village, one of the great advantages is being able to decide each day what type of vacation to experience. Follonica fits perfectly into this concept: a real, complete city overlooking the sea, located just a few minutes’ drive from the village and representing a convenient, practical, and pleasant urban break.
We recommend it because it’s the ideal place when you want services, walks, shops, and an easy beach, without giving up the tranquility of returning in the evening surrounded by greenery. It’s one of those destinations that requires no planning: you leave, you arrive, you live.
The beaches of Follonica
The sea is one of the main reasons why Follonica is so appreciated. The city overlooks a long sandy beach, wide and bright, with gently sloping seabeds and direct access from the town center. It’s a beach designed to be enjoyed with simplicity, ideal for those traveling with children or seeking convenience.
Over time, some particularly well-known areas have established themselves:
- Levante Beach, more central and close to services
- Ponente Beach, wider and more airy, towards the green areas
- Pratoranieri Area, slightly more secluded, much loved by families
Here beach establishments and free beach areas alternate, allowing you to choose the most suitable atmosphere each day. It’s a beach that gives its best in the morning and early afternoon hours, when the light is full and the sea particularly inviting.
Follonica for families: what to do between sea, walks, and services
Follonica is a city that works very well for families, and it’s one of the reasons we often recommend it to those staying with us. Everything is within reach: the sea, the center, shops, and the waterfront are easily accessible and can be enjoyed without haste.
During the day the beach is perfect for children, thanks to the wide spaces and shallow waters. In the afternoon and evening, instead, Follonica invites you to go out for a walk on the waterfront or in the center, stopping for ice cream, an aperitif, or an informal dinner. It’s a lively city, but not stressful, where you can move around easily even with strollers or small children.
Moreover, being a well-structured city, it’s the ideal reference point for shopping and services: shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, and everything you might need during a vacation can be found easily, without having to make long trips.
What to do in Follonica in the evening
In the evening Follonica changes face and becomes a pleasantly lively city. The waterfront fills with people strolling, venues open their outdoor tables, and the atmosphere is relaxed but vibrant. It’s the right place for those who want to go out without seeking extreme nightlife.
Among the most frequented reference points are:
- the waterfront, ideal for a sunset walk
- the city center, with bars, restaurants, and ice cream shops
- some areas like Pratoranieri, very popular on summer evenings
In summer there’s no shortage of events, initiatives, and shows, especially in the central months of the season, which help make evenings pleasant and never monotonous.
As you have been able to appreciate from what you’ve read so far, Follonica represents the natural extension of your stay at OasiMaremma Village. It takes just about ten minutes by car to go from the greenery and tranquility of the village to a city overlooking the sea, lively and complete.
It’s this proximity that makes the difference: the freedom to choose each day whether to stay at the facility, explore the more natural coves, or experience a day – or an evening – in Follonica, knowing you’ll return to a relaxing environment. A balance that makes the vacation richer, more flexible, and suitable for everyone.
