Rimigliano Coastal Nature Park

One moment you’re walking in the shade of the pine trees. The next, your feet are already in the sand. The Rimigliano Coastal Park is one of the most surprising corners of the Etruscan Coast, where nature and the beach coexist in perfect harmony. But it’s also one of the most popular spots for families holidaying in San Vincenzo, who find space here to play, stroll, cycle and enjoy a picnic surrounded by greenery.

Why do families love the Rimigliano Coastal Park so much?

Because at the Rimigliano Coastal Park, every day can take a different direction. Some come to spend a few hours on the free beach, easily accessible even with pushchairs, others choose to walk through the Mediterranean scrub, while some prefer to explore the trails by bike or on horseback. All in the same place!

The Rimigliano Coastal Park stretches for approximately 650 hectares along the coastline and preserves one of the most valuable natural environments of the Etruscan Coast. Spectacular dunes and lush Mediterranean vegetation frame the trails, while the crystal-clear sea suddenly appears between the trees, offering views that amaze both adults and children.

Families especially appreciate the opportunity to alternate different activities: walks in the shade of pines, holm oaks and sessile oaks, relaxing on the beach, a picnic surrounded by greenery, or a bike ride along the trails that cross the park. It is precisely this variety that makes Rimigliano special: here, nature is not just observed, but experienced!

What to do with children at the Rimigliano Coastal Park

At the Rimigliano Coastal Park, nature becomes an experience to enjoy with the family.

Strolling among dunes and Mediterranean scrub

One of the most delightful ways to discover Rimigliano is on foot. The easy flat trails wind through one of the most fascinating and authentic natural areas of the Etruscan Coast, between sandy dunes and Mediterranean scrub, while the large maritime pines and holm oaks provide shade even on the hottest days.

For children, every walk can become a little adventure: observing the shapes of the trees, picking up a pine cone, listening to the birdsong – the park is home to larks, goldfinches, owls, buzzards, green woodpeckers – and following a path that seems to disappear into the greenery. Moreover, as they cross the park, the most observant children might even spot a squirrel leaping between the trees or a wild rabbit hidden among the foliage. In late spring, the pimelia appears on the beaches, a curious black beetle that leaves a distinctive trail of footprints in the sand.

Fitness journey

Who says a walk in the countryside can’t turn into a fun family challenge? Within the Rimigliano Coastal Park, beneath the shade of holm oaks and pines, you’ll find a Fitness Trail featuring 18 stations dedicated to physical activity. Each station offers different exercises, with levels of difficulty suitable for both adults and young people.

Moreover, the flat trails allow you to enjoy a leisurely day outdoors, stopping whenever you come across a particularly beautiful view or a stretch of beach that invites you to pause.

A picnic in the shade

Sometimes the most beautiful experiences are also the simplest. A blanket spread out in the shade, something tasty to eat and the scent of the sea in the distance: at the Rimigliano Coastal Park, it takes very little to turn a break into a special moment to share with the family, making the most of the shaded picnic areas. A simple way to spend time together, relaxing amidst the greenery during the day.

The beach at the Rimigliano Coastal Park

The Rimigliano Coastal Park beach stretches for around 6 km within the protected area and retains a natural, unspoilt appearance, characterised by light sand, coastal dunes and clear waters. An environment that allows you to experience the sea authentically, away from the livelier pace of equipped beach resorts.
