This is an amazing place! I recommend getting there with a long walk from Calamoresca so that you can see one of the most beautiful places of Tuscany! Bring your lunch and enjoy the day and the sea!

What to do on a Tuscan Christmas day? I was led to this beautiful spot by Michel from the Castanea cooperative. A magical mystery tour of trust, and delight. Having expressed an interest in the coast, a swimming opportunity and some walking he concocted this treasure. Christmas day, a picnic, a swim, a walk and enough sunshine to bring smiles to the faces of all the group. Thankyou so much Michel. I cannot recommend this highly enough. I will certainly plan a return through other seasons.

Buca delle fate is a small gulf between Golfo di Baratti and Piombino.
Access is not simple: need to drive to the end of the Baratti gulf and then follow the street in the direction of the castle.
You need to drive on top of the hill and looking for a place to park (not simple). Then you have to follow a narrow path to the sea (around 20 minutes walking in the mediterrian bush).
When you reach the place you will find crystal water and wild nature. The only problem is that the beach is quite small and done of stones.
Butt water is really wonderfull and for sure you will enjoy this small corner of paradise.
Maybe better to avoid the weekend and the central part of August: too crowded with problem for parking and find a place on the beach

You need to know it does exist, but is not an incredibly hidden gem if you go there during the summer. On the other hand, if you go there off season, especially in September or October, you might end up having very little company and enjoy this secluded place to take a bath in crystal clear waters. The hike is not very well marked and it can get dark in the woods if you wait too long to leave. Take your time and relax.

ciao, grazie delle info... per bivaccare una notte, considerato il problema parcheggio ritieni più "sicuro" nei dintorni di Cala Violina, Sterpaia o Cala Ricchi? Grazie!
Salve! La strada per arrivare al parcheggio, prima del sentiero, é tutta asfaltata, arrivando da Firenze? Grazie!

Qualcuno ha mai bivaccato una notte? Intendo montare prima del tramonto e smontare la tenda appena dopo l'alba, avete avuto problemi? Non penso che facciano controlli notturni no? Grazie!

Ieri ho trovato persone che dormivano lì, ben attrezzati di tenda ecc. Sicuramente una bella esperienza, ma non volevo essere al loro posto Quando avrebbero smontato tutto è riportato su

Ma alla caletta si arriva solo a nuoto o anche solo passeggiando attraverso il sentiero??

In auto da localita' Baratti prendere la strada in salita che conduce al piccolo borgo di Populonia alta. Dal momento che comincia la salita percorrere circa Km 1,6. A questo punto la salita si interrompe ed alla sinistra c'e' un' area di parcheggio sterrata. Qui comincia il sentiero da percorrere a piedi. Una volta oltrepassata la recinzione bisogna prendere il sentiero ombreggiato sulla destra, all'inizio pianeggiante poi in discesa fino a giungere a Buca delle fate in circa 15/20 minuti. C'e' un'altra possibilita', bisogna parcheggiare nel parcheggio sterrato situato in localita' Baratti all'inizio della strada in salita sopracitata. A piedi dirigersi verso il ristorante Canessa, oltrepassarlo e dopo poco inizia a sinistra il sentiero ombreggiato sterrato in salita all'inizio, poi abbastanza pianeggiante, che si sviluppa ad una certa altezza sul livello del mare, con panorami mozzafiato sulla costa, che dopo circa 1 ora vi condurra' a Buca delle fate.

Non ci sono problemi o divieti. Considera che non c'è una vera spiaggia, ma scogliere e tratti con ciottoli.
