The view from the Pier of Marina di Massa is unique: the mountains are covered in snow in winter and in marble in summer.

In summer, tables are put outside on the streets and in the gardens. Shops are open late in the evening and small open markets offer local products in the town centre.
In the evening, the Versilia coast road, nearby, is lined with discos on the sea and restaurants with large terraces.

Massa, the capitol of the province, has a very attractive historical centre from where you can take a stroll to the Malaspina Castle only a short distance away.

Along the coast in the direction of Marina di Carrara, in the area known as "Partaccia", there is a vast choice of campsites all of which are very near to the beach.

Ten kilometres of coastline, modern tourist facilities, fine sand, blue sea, kind and friendly people, excellent cousine. These are the main features of Marina di Massa. This is what the tourist remembers best after his holiday in this corner of the Ligure Sea, which is blessed with unique natural features.

One of the main characteristics of this area lies in the variety of climatic conditions condensed in only a few kilometres. It takes a half hour car trip to go from sea level to an altitude of 2000 metres through landscapes which are totally different from each other, like the pine-forests and the hills on which there is an abundance of beech and chestnut trees until you reach the Apuane, a superb Alpine mountain range from which marble has been cut for thousand years, symbol of a cultural civilization which is infact rooted in this Apuan area.

A landscape which is both unique and special - the ideal piace for a holiday. Besides the sea and the sun Marina di Massa is also famous for its splendid climate. During the winter months the temperature rarely draps below zero.

The Alps protect the entire Massa basin from north winds, spring starts very early and trees begin to bloom from the beginning of February, especially the orange trees which are infact rather symbolic of this area which, for certain aspects, is the same as that previously described by famous writers such as Pascoli and Repetti.
