A day at the seaside

Pisa is a seaside city. Now the city center is a few kilometers from the sea but at Marina di Pisa (a hamlet of the municipality) it is still possible to cool off and take a nice swim or walk among the boats in the tourist port.

To go to Marina di Pisa or Tirrenia you can take the bus at the bus station. The line is 010.

A "green" alternative is to rent/use a bicycle and follow the cycle path that goes directly to Marina di Pisa and then Tirrenia crossing the fields and the pine forest (about 10km).

Both in Marina di Pisa and Tirrenia there are several equipped beaches that offer all beach services (umbrellas, sunbeds, bar service).  

The beaches of Marina di Pisa are mostly white pebbles and are free (no need for paid access). In Tirrenia there are private beaches with paid access (umbrella/deckchair rental).

All along the coast there are excellent restaurants and bars ideal for aperitifs, lunches or dinners on the beach.
