Getting Around Without a Car in Marina di Bibbona

Tourist train, shuttle bus, coastal bike paths and more: how to explore Marina di Bibbona and the Etruscan Coast without a car from Hotel Marinetta.

Marina di Bibbona is a compact, walkable resort with a flat layout and a well-organised seasonal public transport network. The hotel itself is located in the centre of the resort, making most local services and the beach reachable on foot. For those wishing to venture further along the coast or reach nearby villages and train stations, several options are available.

On foot and by bicycle

The most pleasant way to explore Marina di Bibbona is simply on foot or by bicycle. The resort is flat, traffic is limited during the summer months, and the 7 km coastal pine forest path connecting Marina di Bibbona to Marina di Cecina is one of the finest seaside walks in Tuscany, entirely accessible without crossing any road.

The hotel has bicycles available for guests wishing to explore the area on two wheels. Ask at reception for availability and recommendations on the best local routes.

The Tourist Train (Trenino Gommato)

During the summer season, a small tourist train (trenino gommato) circulates through the streets of Marina di Bibbona, connecting the various parts of the resort and the main beach access points. It is a fun and practical way to move around the village, particularly useful for guests with luggage, children or reduced mobility.

The tourist train is accessible to people with reduced mobility, making it one of the most inclusive local transport options available.

The service runs from mid-June to mid-September. For updated timetables and stops, ask at the hotel reception.

The Shuttle Bus (Bus Navetta)

A seasonal shuttle bus service connects Marina di Bibbona with the inland village of Bibbona and with Bolgheri railway station, with departures timed to coincide with train arrivals. This makes it possible to arrive at the hotel by train without a car, stepping off at Bolgheri station and taking the shuttle directly to the resort.

Line 115 connects Marina di Bibbona with Cecina and other coastal localities throughout the season. The nearest bus stop to the hotel is Via dei Melograni / Via dei Pini, approximately 4 minutes on foot. 

Line 125 is a free seasonal service running between Marina di Cecina and Marina di Bibbona during the summer season.
