IMMOBILIARE COLOMBINI
"A beautiful seafront walk in Marina di Carrara, it's even more beautiful when you go to watch the sunset—an indescribable spectacle.
The path is well-designed and well-lit, and you can admire the sunset even while sitting on the marble benches placed quite often along the way.
When we were there, the sea was very rough, so we even watched the surfers ride the waves."
