Hiking
the Migliarinese maquis acts as its eastern limit and the Tyrrhenian Sea laps it to the west, the Natural Reserves of Bocca di Serchio and Bufalina frame it at the extreme south and north. It is the strip of beach that belongs to the Community of Vecchiano, which offers itself to those who know how to love it for so much beauty and uniqueness

Embark on the Macchia Lucchese Botanical Trail for a moderate hike that spans 11.0 miles (17.7 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 145 feet (44 metres). This route offers a diverse experience, blending the wild, rustic feel of Lecciona Beach with the serene views along the Bufalina Canal. You will discover an unspoiled coastal environment, characterized by natural driftwood, before the trail leads you through lush vegetation alongside the winding waterway. Expect to spend around 4 hours and 29 minutes immersed in this unique landscape.
When planning your visit, be aware that while the trail is generally accessible, some sections of the gravel paths parallel to the beach might be poorly maintained. You might also encounter some rubbish washed ashore on parts of the beach itself. Parking is typically available near the starting point, making it convenient if you are arriving by car. There are no specific warnings regarding snow conditions or road closures, so you can generally enjoy this trail throughout the year.
This trail is situated within the Parco Regionale Migliarino, San Rossore, Massaciuccoli, offering you an immersive experience in the park's wild nature. The Bufalina Canal, a key feature of the route, connects Lake Massaciuccoli to the sea, providing a unique ecological corridor. The absence of commercial development on Lecciona Beach ensures a truly natural and undisturbed coastal adventure, setting this route apart as a tranquil escape.
