The adjectives most often used to describe Cala Civette are "wild" and "uncontaminated". Perhaps the use depends on the contrast with the other very popular and crowded beaches on the coast between Follonica and Castiglione della Pescaia, but it is true that the small bay is immersed in nature.
Cala Civette owes its name to the sixteenth century watchtower that stands on the promontory overlooking the coast and is characterized by a sandy beach of fine caramel-colored sand. The beach is small and narrow and slopes down into a clean and crystal clear sea. Behind it there is a dense and fragrant private pine forest.
The inlet can be reached on foot after leaving the car in one of the pay car parks in Val Martina, Pian d’Alma-Torre Civette and Puntone di Scarlino. Cala Civette is also connected to Cala Martina, Cala Violina and the other beaches along the coast by a network of paths for trekking and mountain biking.
