Marina di Carrara is primarily an industrial port, located in a picturesque Tuscan beach town that can easily be reached by foot. The town features lots of modern facilities as well as a beautiful soft, sandy beach where cruisers to Italy can rent an umbrella and chairs and spend the day lounging and swimming. Stroll along the shore and stop for drinks or a bite to eat while taking in the views of the surrounding Carrara marble-topped mountain.
Marina di Carrara also offers easy access to Florence, which is less than two hours away by car, as well as a 45-minute drive to Pisa. Passengers less inclined to spend the day on the beach can enjoy some sightseeing and a bit of Italian culture, as long as they efficiently manage their time in port.
