After Sicily and Sardinia, the Tuscan Coast is one of the most popular parts of Italy for water sports and for good reason; there are beautiful beaches, great facilities, perfect waves and a range of locations that are suitable for people of all levels of competency. As we mentioned in the last post, Tuscany is a particularly good location for those interested in surfing so if you can't make it to Hawaii or California this year – or if you're looking for those surfing vibes with a Tuscan twist – just find a vacation rental on the Tuscan Coast.

If you have planned a trip to Tuscany, you might be scheduling or lining up all sorts of outings. I mean, there is absolutely no shortage of things to see or do, is there?
