Introduction
As summer resorts go, Forte dei Marmi keeps a low profile. Guests pedal between secluded villas shaded by pines and private beach clubs with perfectly raked sand.

- Forte’s beach season runs from Easter to early October. Avoid the August crush. Family-run bathing clubs are best: book at Alaide or Capri.
- Two-wheel transport is the way to get around. Cycle inland to Pietrasanta for its great shops and art galleries.
- On the way back from Pietrasanta pick up traditional biscotti at Fortini.
- Join the locals and learn how to play scopone, a popular card game.
- Beat the heat with a cone or cup of gelato from Imperiale (via C Colombo) or Cervino (via Spinetti).
