Top Attractions in Follonica

💡 Head to the stretch past Bagno Fiore, between the pier and the Torre Mozza road. It's quieter and the sand stays cleaner.
💡 Pop in around 17:00 on weekdays—the sacristan often unlocks the side chapel to show the 17th‑century reliquary locals call 'il tesoro'. No ticket needed.
💡 Rent a bike from the stand outside the tourist office on Via Roma. The main loop takes 45 minutes and ends at the Puntone beach snack bar.
💡 Go on the first Sunday of the month—entry is free then. Don't skip the short video in the back room about the old tuna fishery.
