The beach
La Dogana is a long sandy beach. There are approximately 20km of beach so that as soon as you leave the areas around the car-park and walk further along, the beaches are virtually deserted, even in August.
It is a popular summer nesting ground.
The beach management rents sun-loungers and beach umbrellas so that a place on the beach in the shade is guaranteed, and the owner can book one on request at cost to the clients but needs at least 12 weeks notice, especially in August.
The beach has an excellent restaurant serving also on the beach itself to avoid the crowds and bar. It is open also in the evening, and is great fun for children who make friends with others on the beaches. Pedaloes and canoes can also be rented on the beach.
Water-sports and boat rentals can be arranged in Porto Ercole or Porto Santo Stefano, approx 30mn away. You can either rent a small boat/yacht with a captain and go on day trips along the coast and around the Argentario, exploring the many little bays which can be quite secluded, Giglio and Gianutri islands. Alternatively for longer trips you can rent a high-powered speedboat and do day-trips to Elba (2hrs) or even Corsica (3hrs – we recommend an overnight stay) – they also do the water-skiing. In August it is advised to book boats in advance on weekends, though during the week it is not so hard to find them.
Location
