Beach Clubs in Viareggio: Tuscany Seaside Guide 2026
Viareggio is the first city of the Versilia — the stretch of Tuscan coast running from Viareggio to Forte dei Marmi. It has Tuscany's longest seafront promenade, historic beach clubs of real standing, the famous Liberty-style boulevard, and a character all its own: less exclusive than Forte dei Marmi, more authentic, with a genuinely Tuscan beach spirit.
The seafront promenade
Viareggio's Lungomare is one of Italy's most famous seafronts: 5 km of tree-lined boulevard with beach clubs on one side and ornate Liberty-style villas on the other. Historic cafés like Gran Caffè Margherita, gelato shops, fish restaurants. The evening passeggiata is a social institution.
Viareggio is also famous for its Carnival — Italy's largest — with enormous allegorical floats parading in February. But the beach season is equally serious.
Beach clubs and prices
Viareggio's stabilimenti fall into three bands. Along the Lungomare: the historic numbered bagni (Bagno Balena, Bagno Nettuno etc.) with Liberty-style cabins, excellent service and mid-high prices. Towards Torre del Lago: cheaper options with a more local feel.
The average quality is high: every bagno has showers, a bar, a restaurant and good-quality umbrellas. In-beach service (drinks to your sunbed) is standard.
Getting there
By train: Viareggio is on the Pisa–La Spezia line. From Pisa ~20 minutes, from Florence ~1h30. The station is a 10-minute walk from the seafront — ideal if you're coming without a car.
By car: A11 motorway Florence–North Pisa → Viareggio exit. About 1h20 from Florence. Street parking in the side roads off the Lungomare (paid in summer).
