Lido di Camaiore spreads out for more than four km along a coast of fine sand. Since the beginning of the last Century, Lido di Camaiore has been one of the most renowned seaside resorts in Italy. Gabriele D'Annunzio was the first to prefer this place to crown his love with Eleonora Duse. The real boom came after the second World War, when Lido became one of the favorite destinations for mass national and international tourism.
This is a Prehistoric Cave, which is about 40x60 metres large. It is reached after about an hour's walk along an easy path through the oak forests of Mount Matanna. The underground structure is also interesting from a geological point of view, showing evidence of the most significant events sedimentological and paleoclimatic from about 170,000 years ago.
