At 15 kilometres distance is Marina di Bibbona (where Belora guests have free access to the seaside through the campsite 'Il Giardino delle Esperidi' with parking and bathroom facilities) and the nature park 'Gineprino' a strip of coast land covered with juniper bushes, which is open to the public (5 minute walk from the car parking) with an ample beach where the indigenous plants are recorded and protected.
