This is a loop hike of approx. 8km, with 190 m of ascent and 180 m of descen. It’s a scenic and moderately easy trail through Mediterranean woodland, leading to one of Tuscany’s most iconic beaches — Cala Violina — with the added bonus of a sunset swim. The route starts at the Punta Ala Camp & Resort and follows the “Sentiero delle Api”, a shaded forest path through dense Mediterranean scrub, with gentle rolling terrain and a mostly compact dirt surface. After roughly 4 km, you’ll reach Cala Violina, located in the Bandite di Scarlino Nature Reserve — accessible only on foot or by bike. Cala Violina is renowned for its fine, white quartz sand, which emits a soft violin-like sound when walked on. It's the perfect spot for a quick swim around sunset before beginning the return. The way back takes a shorter, more panoramic trail with some steeper gradients and exposed sections, offering sweeping views over Cala Civette, the Gulf of Follonica, and the coastline near PuntAla Camp & Resort. Trail surface: compact dirt, natural rock, light gravel. Level: easy Gear: trail or hiking shoes, swimwear, water, headlamp (for late return), insect repellent.

A unique route that includes 'The Guardian' and 'Torretta,' two historic trails a stone's throw from the sea on which the strongest Italian enduro riders have passed.

An itinerary suitable for everyone, thanks to the limited difference in altitude and low technical difficulty. It is recommended to pay attention to the entrance of the path that leads to the panoramic point.
