What is the distance from Massa Marittima to the sea?

From Massa Marittima is about 19 km from Follonica, the nearest seaside resort, that is about twenty minutes by car depending on the starting point and traffic. The town is inland, in the hills: so you are not by the sea, but the coast remains close enough for a day trip.

Without a car, a bus also connects Massa Marittima to Follonica; the journey takes about 30 minutes. Note that it drops you off in town, not directly on the sand, and the schedules vary by day: check them before leaving, especially on Sundays or off-season. For a more secluded beach like Cala Violina, allow more travel time and, depending on the chosen access, a walk; it's not as simple as reaching Follonica's seafront.
