The Calafuria cliffs, nature reserve and set of Risi and Gassman's Sorpasso

The most popular seaside destination is the Calafuria Nature Reserve, rich in inlets, fjords and coves that rim the sea. One reaches the 16th-century tower that the Grand Duke of Tuscany erected to defend himself against the arrival of enemies and pirates. The bench stone cliff is full of natural alcoves, the water boasts shades of emerald green. Under the concrete bridge and above a concrete terrace, boys play football, and have even hung a bungee cord for bungee jumping directly into the water. Mediterranean scrub covers the wild hills behind the tower, while along these hairpin bends of the historic Aurelia road Dino Risi filmed legendary scenes in the film Il Sorpasso, including the final and fatal scene for Jean-Louis Trintignant. You can also dive from the Scogli Piatti (Flat Rocks), as well as cool off in the Vaschine di Calafuria, delightful natural pools originating from the caving activity of Etruscan times. Sassoscritto is also exciting.
