Forte Di Marmi

 

Last weekend Annie, Alison and I took a day trip to Forte Di Marmi. It was the most beautiful place ever. We had to take a train and a bus to get there, which was a little confusing but luckily we found some really nice people who were also going there and spoke Italian so they helped us out tremendously. This was the first sand beach I’ve been to in Italy and it was amazing. There were mountains with snow behind us while we were tanning on beautiful sandy beaches.

 

We had to walk 2km in order to make it to the public beach, which was way more crowded than all the private ones. When we tried to sit at the private ones multiple times the lifeguards made sure we knew we weren’t allowed to. But we did find a crab on the beach and got to play with him, which was really cool.

He was a little wounded, but we saved him and put him back into the water!

We finally made it to the public beach though. There was a big fence in between the two and it was significantly more crowded, but very fun nonetheless!

 


 

We spent all day tanning and playing in the waves and water. At one point we saw a group of guys tossing each other into the air and decided to join in on the fun. Annie and I asked if they could throw us and it was so much fun flipping through the air! Annie, on the other hand, went once, smacked her back on a back flop and decided she’d had enough fun for the time being.

 

The water felt really nice and we took a lot of pictures, especially with the mountains in the background!

 All in all it was a great day at the beach!
